Andy Kind had tried to walk the Pennine Way before. It hadn't gone well.

In May 2021, he set off from Edale determined that this time would be different - 268 miles from Derbyshire to Scotland, through weather and terrain, blisters and bogs, dodgy B&Bs and unexpected friendships.

Hindered both by himself and others, we follow Andy towards what he hopes will not just be an ending, but a redemption.

A cross between Bill Bryson and Jerome K. Jerome, with subtle hints of Evelyn Waugh, The Wayfarer is addictively funny and beautifully written - full of literary references, poetic descriptions, and laugh-out-loud moments. It's a story about walking, yes. But also about what happens when you keep moving forward, even when you're not entirely sure why.

What do you do when hope falls off a cliff?

Endorsements: "Andy Kind has always been a masterful storyteller but he seems, ironically, to have climbed to new heights with this. The Wayfarer is a triumph of humour and pathos." -- Paul Kerensa, British Comedy award-winning co-writer

"Capturing the profound soulfulness of Raynor Winn's The Salt Path alongside the observational brilliance of Bill Bryson, Andy Kind brings a fresh, hilarious voice to the Great British trail."
