Betrayal, loss of their home, news of a fatal illness - all this fell upon a 50-year-old couple from Great Britain at once, completely suddenly. Confused, desperate, and almost out of money, they make the most seemingly crazy decision: to hike the 630-mile Southwest Coast Trail, famous for its rugged beauty. In 2013, with their rucksacks loaded with essentials on their shoulders, they set off across breathtaking landscapes, exposed to all the challenges of life in the wild and changed with every step. In September 2019, the book became the first bestseller in the UK.
