Simon Armitage: My life in travel

Waking up in a place I didn't recognise was always so exciting.

When I was a child, we used to drive up to Scotland. We'd set off really early in the morning, trying to beat the traffic. It was really exciting, packing the night before, and in that blur of sleepiness I'd be put in the back of the car and probably fall asleep. My mum and dad used to make a little nest for me and my sister, and we'd wake up and see the profiles of the hills changing through the windows and watch the light come up.
