Walking the Entire UK Coastline

Chris Lewis, an ex-paratrooper,
had hit rock bottom, suffering with anxiety and depression so severe he would
shut himself in his bedroom for weeks. Then, in summer 2017, whilst surfing –
his only respite – he cast his eyes along the coast and made an impulsive
decision that would change his life. A few days later, on 1st August 2017,
with nothing but a broken tent, a borrowed pair of boots and £10 in his pocket,
Chris set off to walk the entire UK coastline raising funds for the veterans
charity, SSAFA. He had no idea how long it would take him or if it was
even possible. What followed was the adventure of a lifetime which turned his
life around. 6 years and 19,000 miles later, Chris crossed the finish line with
a renewed sense of self-pride, passion and purpose having raised over £500,000
for SSAFA and found a family along the way! 

Chris and his family, now known as
Wilderness Family, are currently getting ready to embark on their next big
adventure cycling and hiking  8000 miles along the Atlantic Coast of
Europe raising funds for the charity, Make A Wish UK. The first leg of their
adventure starts this March 2025.

Join Chris for an entertaining, heart-warming and
inspiring talk, Q&A and book signing as he shares stories and reflections
from his incredible journey.
