A Very Long Walk

By Rachel Escott

In 2008, Rachel Escott and her husband set off on an adventure of self-discovery that would last most of the year and lead them through south England, around France and into Spain, to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostella. David and Rachel had jobs and a comfortable home. They lived normal lives. So why give up everything to take on the completely simple life? They used 5 pairs of boots between them, and 12 pairs of socks, 3 T-shirts and 2 pairs of trousers each ... Forced to experience a new side to their relationship, they were to find the strength to overcome the worst tribulations. This book, from Rachel's blogs during the 2289-mile journey, is an insight into the freedom we all secretly wish we had, a simple world of self-reflection, sightseeing and new discovery. There are tales within tales. As you walk this path with Rachel you understand why they made the journey. You feel her pain and her happiness and you reflect with her on broader conceptions of our lives.
