  Cliffs and fens, rugged headlands and sandy bays together with the sea form the impressive backdrop of Reverend Graham Jones' walk, from the Severn estuary along the south and east coasts of England to Lindisfarne, 2000 miles in all. He presents his journey as a metaphor for the ups and downs of his own life, tested by the loss of three children; the walk was also the author's way of clearing his head and healing his heart. From fishing village like Newlyn to industrial docklands as in Felixstowe, meetings and hospitality become tokens of renewed spiritual hope amid the planning mishaps and serendipidies of an expedition.
