I Went for a Walk

I Went for a Walk by Gabriel Stewart, published by Unbound in December 2018, is a unique narrative that chronicles the author’s journey around the UK with only a backpack, camera, and tent. Spanning 155 pages, this book offers an introspective look into the experiences of an eighteen- to nineteen-year-old as he navigates the challenges of hiking and camping with minimal prior experience. The narrative diverges from typical hiking literature, focusing instead on the author’s personal reflections and humorous observations during his journey.

Readers will find that the book delves into various themes, including mental health and the author’s candid thoughts on his experiences. Stewart’s exploration is marked by a blend of self-deprecation and humor, as he recounts the unpredictable nature of his adventure. The narrative captures the essence of travel and walking in Great Britain, providing insights into both the physical and mental aspects of his trek. This edition invites readers to join Stewart on a journey that is as much about self-discovery as it is about the landscapes he traverses.
