Jake Tyler had forgotten how to feel alive.

With only a pair of boots and a backpack, he set off on a 3000-mile walk around Britain – along coastal paths, over mountains, through every national park.

His journey became his road to recovery. On it he rediscovered the British landscape, the extraordinary kindness of strangers and most importantly, his place in the world.

This is his inspiring story, away from the wild edge.
