I May Be Gone for Some Time walking the British coast path

The 5000 mile British coast path walk.

Pete Hill has one of the only and earliest continuous circumnavigations of the coast path, this is his epic account.

In 2014, a self-proclaimed ‘relatively normal fifty-year-old, overweight desk-jockey’, took on the monumental task of attempting a 5,000-mile walk around the coast of mainland Britain in the name of two worthy charities.

Developed and adapted from his award-winning blog, this is a journal documenting the highs and lows of his forty-two-week hike around Britain with only the support of his friends, family, the odd stranger or two and a trusty second-hand motorhome as a roving base camp.

Peter Hill, the man behind the whimsical idea, never viewed the trek as a voyage of personal discovery and instead takes the reader on a truthful blisters-and-all journey with friendly enthusiasm, gentle humour, numerous trials, a few grumbles, the odd rant and many, many ice-creams.

With added extracts from a driver’s diary and fully illustrated with a selection of spectacular photographs, this book is only readable with a smile.
