Hildasay to Home : How I Found My Family By Walking the UK Coastline

The Sunday Times number one bestseller returns with a heartwarming tale of perseverance and family. In this sequel to Finding Hildasay, former paratrooper Christian Lewis continues his transformative journey, both along Britain's coastline and through life itself, with his loyal canine companion at his side.

After weathering lockdown on the desolate Scottish island of Hildasay, Chris resumed his mission to circumnavigate the UK on foot. A serendipitous encounter with fellow adventurer Kate in November 2020 led to an unexpected partnership. As they trekked southward from Scotland, their bond deepened, culminating in the birth of their son, Magnus, adding a new dimension to their coastal odyssey.

However, Chris's return to the mainland brought a resurgence of his mental health challenges. The tranquillity of Hildasay seemed a distant memory as he grappled with his inner demons once more. Faced with physical injuries, setbacks, an ageing Jet, and the demands of raising baby Magnus, this newly-formed family of four had to find their rhythm and unite to overcome the monumental task ahead.

Their journey took them along Scotland's eastern shores, through Yorkshire and East Anglia, before reaching the Jurassic Coast. It was here that Chris gradually rediscovered his equilibrium. In Hildasay to Home, he recounts crossing the finish line in Swansea, having raised nearly half a million pounds. Chris offers poignant reflections on his experiences and the family he forged along Britain's rugged coastline.
