Walking Home ~ Paperback ~ Clare Balding

"I used to know the geography of the UK only by racecourses." This is the story of how I discovered Britain in all its mud and glory. From the delights of the North East Coastal Path to the Highland Way, from Milngavie to the South Downs, I have walked through apocalyptic thunderstorms, stripped off in bus stops, battled with blisters, and traipsed through snow-capped mountains with no voice. It's also the story of the people I have met and my adventures with them along the way - people to whom I have told things I never thought I would reveal.Author BiographyClare Balding's first book, My Animals and Other Family, was a runaway number one bestseller and won Autobiography of the Year at the 2012 Specsavers National Book Awards. Clare was lead presenter for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which she won a BAFTA Special Award, and has presented horse racing on television and radio for 19 years.
