A life-affirming, inspirational account of how one man left his life behind to walk the entire coastline of the United Kingdom, Finding Hildasay is a resounding testament to healing power of nature.

Now I was finally out of the force of the wind, my body began to warm - the part where the real pain sets in. I'd felt it plenty of times before on this journey, but this time it was different. As I began to regain feeling in my fingers and toes, it burned so strongly that I just sat in tears of pain.

Christian Lewis had hit rock bottom, suffering with depression so severe he would shut himself in his bedroom for weeks. In August 2017, while surfing - his only respite - he cast his eyes along the coastline and realized it was the only place he really wanted to be.

Making an impulsive decision to set himself a challenge - walk the entire coastline of the UK - he gave himself a few days to rustle up a tent and walking boots, then left for good with just a tenner in his pocket and two days' worth of food. Little did he know at the time just how long it would take to cross the finish line, and the encounters that lay ahead that would turn his life around.

Four and a half years later, he has navigated the West Coast, Northern Ireland, the hard-rock cliffs of Scotland, the perimeters of the Scottish Islands - where he spent three months on an uninhabited island with no fresh water or food - and the marshes of the East Coast. The more barren Chris's route became, the more pride and respect he had - and the more remarkable his journey became. Happiness and hope was just around the corner.

With a foreword from long-time supporter Ben Fogle, Finding Hildasay is a brutal yet beautiful true story of depression, survival, and the meaning of home.
