Summary

In 2019 Anita Sethi was on a trans Pennine train journey when she was racially abused by a man who later pleaded guilty to the offence. During the attack he told her to go back to where she belonged. Having been born and raised in Manchester Anita feels very strongly that the North of England is where she belongs and as a way of working through the shock and trauma of the incident she began a journey through the Pennines on foot beginning at the uplifting and positively named Hope in the Peak District. Clare joins her for a hike in the steep countryside to Edale taking in Mam Tor and Kinder Scout.

Producer: Maggie Ayre

0:42.3	It's such a peaceful, beautiful train station and you can look out and see Windhill.
0:50.3	There's also further on there's loose hill and when you keep walking you actually get to
0:56.1	Mamtaur and Kinder Scout but it was a big counterpoint to my actual horrific experience on a
