Summary

Read by the author, Christian Lewis.

Walking saved his life. Now it will help find him a family. In the follow-up to his Sunday Times bestselling Finding Hildasay, Christian Lewis takes his next steps.


Since his time on Hildasay, Chris’ adventure has only gotten wilder. No one was more surprised than Chris when, in November 2020, he had an unlikely (seemingly destined) encounter with fellow adventurer Kate. The two turned out to be kindred spirits and – even more astonishingly – 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’ struggles with mental health returned. The solitude of Hildasay seemed far away, and he unravelled once again.

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. They’ve navigated the east coast of Scotland, through Yorkshire and East Anglia, and struggled on to the Jurassic Coast where Chris slowly came back into himself.

In Hildasay to Home Chris finally crosses the finish line back in Swansea with almost half a million pounds raised. He reflects beautifully on all that he’s learned and the family he’s found for himself along the way.

Brilliant and enthralling

Thank you Christian your two books have been inspiring, truthful, and invigorating, I really admire what you have done, and would love to have the courage to do it, as I know I would have felt more fulfilment in my life, had I taken the courage of your conviction, when I was your age. Sadly I am too old to cope now. I will always follow your books, I have listened to them both three times, your narration is excellent, and brings an honesty to it. Wishing you and your little family a very happy future together, with a life full of fulfilment and adventures. Well done.

Captivating Listen

Just like the first book which I listened to in a day or so, this book was exactly the same. I really enjoyed hearing about this new stage in Chris and Jet’s life with Kate and Magnus and the challenges that England and carrying and giving birth to baby enroute faced (hats off to you Kate). Congrats on your massive achievements Chris, Jet, Kate and Magnus and I truly hope that your adventures continue for eternity.

I recommend this book to everyone.

Touching and inspirational!

The second of Chris's truly inspirational books, such an honest account of the highs and lows of his journey and of life in general. Can't wait to see what's next for Chris and his truly special family. RIP Jet xx

Inspirational journey

Final part of Chris, Kate, Magnus and Jet’s journey really highlights hardships of a different kind finishing this epic walk all the time remaining positive and inspiring and showing that despite these difficulties there are still kind people out there prepared to help. I hope whatever this lovely family do in their next chapter it brings happiness and fulfilment.
