Synopsis
In this follow-up to Finding Hildasay, Chris completes his incredible journey walking the coastline of the UK; a journey that he began in 2017 and which took six years!
He left with £10 in his pocket and the weight of the world on this shoulders. He returned with countless cherished memories of communities who had supported his every step, of living and foraging in the wilds on our fair, and oftentimes harsh isle, donations for SSAFA that reached £500,000, and most importantly, a family!
What started out as a private pilgrimage became a journey that touched the hearts and lives of great swathes of the public.
An extraordinary story by a remarkable man.

The Author
On 1 August 2017, former paratrooper Christian Lewis set off from Swansea to walk the entire coastline of the UK. Chris’ search for self-discovery, and to raise awareness and funds for the veterans charity SSAFA, would become a journey beyond his or anyone’s expectations. From raising over a half a million pounds, to adopting a dog called Jet, to finding love with fellow adventurer Kate, he had no idea that when he started this once-in-a-life-time experience he would be crossing the finish line (some six years later) with a fiancée, a dog, a baby and renewed sense of purpose. His story is one of survival and hope, but it’s also proof that, with the right mindset, anything is possible. Finding Hildasay, Christian’s first book about his journey, was a Sunday Times bestseller.
