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 and the meaning of home. With a foreword from long-time supporter Ben Fogle. Nine months into his five and a half year journey Christian adopted a dog, Jet, which has accompanied him all the rest of the way. Three and a half years in he met his soulmate, Kate Barron, who also joined him in his trek. The pair now have a baby son. Christian is now walking through Devon. He will continue around the coast of Cornwall and along the coast of Gloucestershire before reaching Wales and the home stretch to Swansea. 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.'
