Through the process of walking each day, and the lessons of those he encounters, Martineau starts to build connections with the natural world and the past - and, at last, to find the meaning he craves.<br><br>'Marvellous... A book about how to travel' Jay Griffiths, author of Wild<br><br>'[Martineau's] story, beautifully written, of how his pilgrimage of sorts changed him forever' Evening Standard
