  Do you enjoy travel memoirs with a combination of personal reflection and practical tips? Are you interested in solo walking, or are you considering walking the Camino de Santiago or other multi-day walks? 
  In this book, I share my lessons learned and insights from walking three ancient ways — the Pilgrims' Way and the St Cuthberts Way in England, and the Camino de Santiago Portuguese Coastal route.  
  It also includes historical, religious, and cultural aspects, and plenty of tips and questions for you to consider around your own journey.Part 1 goes into practical and spiritual preparation before pilgrimage, including how to make decisions about the route and whether to walk solo, as well as what to take with you, and how to face the fears that might hold you back.Part 2 covers the journey itself with the practicalities of the pilgrim’s day, as well as how walking the path of history and facing the challenge of the way can give you much-needed perspective on life — and perhaps even a glimpse of the divine.Part 3 addresses the arrival at your destination, and how to leave room for the gifts of pilgrimage to emerge after your return home, as well as how my three walks impacted my experience of mid-life.Plus, appendices with practical tips, a gear list and bibliography

  Hindenburg - Thirty-Second Inferno

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Hindenburg: Thirty-Second Inferno is a clear, human-centered chronicle of the most famous airship in history and the half-minute of fire that ended an era. Spanning twenty immersive chapters, it traces the zeppelin dream from its hopeful beginnings through the Hindenburg’s majestic construction, serene ocean crossings, and refined life aboard—promenades of glass, piano in the lounge, disciplined crews, and a floating world of quiet elegance. With steady, simple prose, it opens the doors of the hangars at Friedrichshafen, walks the reader along duralumin ribs and gas cells, and reveals the teamwork, rituals, and pride that held a giant ship safely in the sky. 
   
  The narrative narrows to May 6, 1937: the gray New Jersey evening, the slow turn over Lakehurst, the dropped mooring lines, and then the sudden bloom of flame that raced the length of the hull. The book stays close to witnesses and survivors—rescuers running into heat and smoke, passengers finding seconds of courage, and the trembling voice of the famous broadcast that carried grief into homes around the world. It follows the night’s rescue efforts, the solemn roll of names, and the first careful questions asked among wreckage still warm with rain and ash. 
   
  Beyond the shock, the book examines investigations and debates with calm clarity: hydrogen’s lift against its peril, helium’s safety against its scarcity, static and weather, leak and spark, and the humble truth that complex failures are chains, not single breaks. It shows how the disaster reshaped trust and practice—longer checklists, better materials, clearer cockpit authority—and how airplanes quietly inherited the future as airships slipped into memory.

  In his darkest depression, one idea brought Christian Lewis out of the depths - and into a new life. Finding Hildasay, read by the author, is a brutal and beautiful true story of depression, survival, walking, and the meaning of home.‘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.’Ex-paratrooper Christian Lewis had hit rock bottom, suffering with depression so severe he would shut himself in his bedroom for weeks. Then while surfing – his only respite – he cast his eyes along the coastline and realized it was the only place he really wanted to be.Making an impulsive decision to set himself a challenge – walk the entire coastline of the UK – Chris gave himself a few days to rustle up a tent and walking boots, then left for good with just a tenner in his pocket and two days’ worth of food. Little did he know at the time just how long it would take to cross the finish line – and the encounters that lay ahead that would turn his life around.Five years later, Chris has navigated the West Coast, Northern Ireland, the hard-rock cliffs of Scotland and the perimeters of the Scottish Islands . He spent three months on an uninhabited island called Hildasay, where there was no fresh water or food. It was there, the most barren his route had become, that the more pride and respect he found within himself – and the more remarkable his journey became. Happiness and hope was just around the corner.

  Smelling the Breezes - A Journey...

  Smelling the Breezes is an inspiring family adventure, a three-hundred-mile walk down the spine of the Lebanon with four children, two donkeys and Elias, the family's gardener, nursemaid and friend. The journey took them over towering passes, through immense gorges and into the lives of mountain villages and highland herdsmen. The presence of four small but redoubtable blonde children proved a passport at every door, whatever the politics, religion or ethnicity of the household. Smelling the Breezes is a magnificent portrait of Lebanon in all its rich complexity and easy charm: broken castles, hashish smugglers, clan feuds, festivals, forgotten temples, secretive headquarters and hospitable sheikhs.
