The long walk home
Lewis, Chris2023
Book
Chris Lewis, a former paratrooper with the 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment, was deeply depressed and suicidal. Knowing he had to do something, he decided he would walk the entire UK coastline. In August 2017, he set off on the long, lonely and at times arduous road towards what he hoped would be a happier life. Nine months into his journey, he adopted a sweet dog called Jet. Together they continued on, step by step, side by side. When lockdown restrictions came into force in March 2020, they spend the entire period self-isolating on the remote uninhabited Shetland Island of Hildasay, where Chris foraged, fished and collected driftwood for fuel. With each new challenge he faced, Chris felt the happiest he'd ever been. So when he met a fellow traveller, Kate Barron, he knew that the best was yet to come. This is Chris's story.
