| Description: | Select Guide Rating Sunday Times bestselling Chris Lewis meets the love of his life and starts the real adventure of a lifetime as he builds a family and finishes his epic walk along the whole coastline of the UK. <p><b>The No. 1 <i>Sunday Times</i> Bestseller</b><br><br><b>Walking saved his life. Now it will help find him a family. In the follow-up to his <i>Sunday Times </i>bestselling <i>Finding Hildasay</i>, Christian Lewis takes his next steps – along the coastline of Britain, and on the road of life.</b><br><br>Since his time on Hildasay, Chris’ adventure has only gotten wilder. No one was more surprised than Chris when, in November 2020, he had an unlikely (seemingly destined) encounter with fellow adventurer Kate. The two turned out to be kindred spirits and – even more astonishingly – Kate made the bold decision to join Chris on the walk of a lifetime. Day in, day out, as they trekked the coastline down from Scotland together, their relationship grew, and soon the couple were thrown in at the deep end when their first child – baby Magnus – arrived.<br><br>But, away from Scotland, Chris’ struggles with mental health returned. The solitude of Hildasay seemed far away, and he unravelled once again.<br><br>Through injuries and setbacks, with Jet the dog ageing and baby Magnus growing by the day, the adventurous family of four had to find their feet and come together to complete this epic challenge. They’ve navigated the east coast of Scotland, through Yorkshire and East Anglia, and struggled on to the Jurassic Coast where Chris slowly came back into himself.<br><br><b>In <i>Hildasay to Home</i> Chris finally crosses the finish line back in Swansea with almost half a million pounds raised. He reflects beautifully on all that he’s learned and the family he’s found for himself along the way.</b></p> |
