The Roads to Sata (1985) Alan Booth - 02-21-2016, 08:43 AM

Is anyone familiar with the 1985 travel diary "The Roads to Sata" by Alan Booth.

The diary details Booth's journey by foot from Cape Soya in Hokkaido (the northernmost point of Japan) to Cape Sata in Kyushu (the southernmost point of Japan, barring Okinawa), travelling along the country's western shoreline.
Apparently the journey was around 2,000 miles and took him 128 days to complete.

While the author himself has published other travel diaries (until his death in 1993), has anyone ever tried to re-enact this trip in modern time?
