The Sunday Times Bestseller and featured on Ben Fogle's New Lives
in the Wild Join Christian Lewis as he walks the entire coastline
of the UK – his dog Jet in tow – and rebuilds his life, step by
step. With a foreword from longtime supporter Ben Fogle, this is
inspiring true story of reconnecting with nature and finding hope
along the way. Ex-paratrooper Christian Lewis had hit rock bottom,
suffering with depression so severe he would shut himself in his
bedroom for weeks. Then while surfing – his sole respite – he
cast his eyes along the coastline and realized it was the only
place he really wanted to be. Then, Chris made an impulsive
decision. He set himself a challenge: to walk the entire coastline
of the UK. He gave himself a few days to rustle up a tent and
walking boots, then left for good with just a tenner in his pocket
and two days’ worth of food. Little did he know at the time just
how long it would take to cross the finish line – and the
encounters lying ahead would turn his life around. Almost six years
later, Chris has navigated the West Coast, Northern Ireland, the
hard-rock cliffs of Scotland and the perimeters of the Scottish
Islands. He spent three months on an uninhabited island called
Hildasay, with beloved dog Jet. It was there, the most barren his
route had become, that he found within himself the pride and
respect he needed – and his journey became all the more
remarkable. Happiness and hope was just around the corner . . .
