Discovering Britain, surviving her family - a brilliantly charming memoir from Clare Balding

In Clare Balding’s family, walking just took too long - she galloped through the countryside and she galloped through life.

Then, starting out in her broadcasting career, she was asked to present a series discovering the glories of Britain and Ireland. Clare caught the walking bug.

Now she wants her family to share some of that pleasure. She and her brother Andrew are determined to conquer the Wayfarer’s Walk, a 71 mile route. What could possibly go wrong?

This is a story of paths and people, of (mis)adventures, and of life-changing rambles. This is Clare’s story of walking home.
