Gail Simmons - Between the Chalk and the Sea

A journey on foot into the past.

Over four seasons, travel writer Gail Simmons walked the Old Way from Hampshire to Canterbury to rediscover what a long journey on foot offers us today. In the age of the car, what does it mean to embrace 'slow travel'? Why does being a woman walking alone still feel like a radical act? In an age when walking connects the nation, can we now reclaim pilgrimage as a secular act.

RAYNOR WINN: 'I loved this memoir - centuries of stories captured in the chalk, all told through the prism of one life.'
