The Parallel Path - Love, Grit and Walking the North

Burnt-out and in need of retreat, Jenn Ashworth emerged from lockdown with a compulsive need to walk - and to walk away. Armed with little more than the knowledge imparted by a two-day orienteering course and a set of maps, she embarked on the most epic of English walks: Wainwright''s Coast to Coast. Guided not just by Wainwright''s writing but also by daily letters from her friend Clive - facing an epic journey of his own - Jenn''s pilgrimage soon became more than just walking: a chance to reconnect and excavate, to reflect and meditate, to re-engage with the act of caring for others and for one self. Arresting in its unbridled honesty, The Parallel Path is a moving journey through the ever-changing scenery of the North - and the internal landscape of a life in turmoil.
