Hildasay to home : how I found a family by walking the UK's coastline / Christian Lewis. - London : Macmillan, 2024. - 336 pages ; 24 cm.

Since his time on Hildasay, Chris's adventure has only gotten wilder. No one was more surprised than Chris when, in November 2020, he had an unlikely encounter with fellow adventurer Kate. The two turned out to be kindred spirits and 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. But, away from Scotland, Chris's struggles with mental health returned. Several times Chris was attacked by groups of youths because of his unruly appearance, and as a result he became more and more anxious and withdrawn. 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.
