Six years later, after Roger Deakin's early death, Robert Macfarlane returned to the holloway with the artist Stanley Donwood and writer Dan Richards. The book is about those journeys and that landscape.

And I was goin' out to meet ya, well when I went out to meet you, I felt soooo exposed and such a minority. I never felt like that in Glasgow walkin' in the streets like that, going to Pride … There's much more of a celebration feeling or warmth, a warmth towards it. In Edinburgh I felt much more antagonist energy.
We've been pretty closeted until now. […] So you can imagine how I felt about going to Pride. But when Andrea said she wanted to go, I gave it [a] shot.
Pride events are no longer confined to major cities […] Nor are Pride events limited to white, affluent LGBs who can afford high ticket prices: there are youth Prides in the UK, many events have retained their political origins and offer free entry, and Black Pride events are held in nine US cities[…].
It's Pride this weekend, Tom, and Brighton will be packed again. Remember that your first duty is ensuring community safety.
You ask about the parade where I was wearing a jump suit? Actually, it was a black wet suit with a red stripe. It was Pride Week and it was cold!
The debates about representation, tone, and the gravity of Pride have persisted to the present day. But by 1975, after six years of growth, Pride was established as an annual parade with themes of public declaration of gay identity, unity among diverse people, celebration, and a continued demand for social change. Like the first events in 1970, the core of the Pride phenomenon was rooted in the actions of gays publicly showing themselves as they are and without apology.
