THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER In his darkest depression, one idea brought Christian Lewis out of the depths – and into a new life. Finding Hildasay is a brutal and beautiful true story of depression, survival, walking and the meaning of home. With a foreword from long-time supporter Ben Fogle. ‘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.’ Ex-paratrooper Christian Lewis had hit rock bottom, suffering with depression so severe he would shut himself in his bedroom for weeks. Then, 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 – Chris 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. Five years later, Chris has navigated the West Coast, Northern Ireland, the hard-rock cliffs of Scotland and the perimeters of the Scottish Islands. He spent three months on an uninhabited island called Hildasay, where there was no fresh water or food. It was there, the most barren his route had become, that he found more pride and respect within himself – and the more remarkable his journey became. Happiness and hope were just around the corner.

About Author
On 1 August 2017, former paratrooper Christian Lewis set off from Swansea to walk the entire coastline of the UK. Chris’ search for self-discovery, and to raise awareness and funds for the veterans charity SSAFA, would become a journey beyond his or anyone’s expectations. From raising over a half a million pounds to adopting a dog called Jet and finding love with fellow adventurer, Kate, he had no idea that when he started this once-in-a-life-time experience he would be crossing the finish line (some six years later) with a fiancee, a baby and renewed sense of purpose. Finding Hildasay, Christian’s book about the first half his journey, was released in 2023 and was a Sunday Times bestseller. His Facebook page ‘Chris Walks the UK’ now has over 150k followers and his story has received worldwide attention, a BAFTA-nominated documentary and featured on Ben Fogle’s New Lives in the Wild.
