Skin and Blisters Jane Matthews

There are three ways to change the trajectory of our lives: Crisis, Chance and Choice. Sometimes it takes all three... When in doubt, pull on your walking boots and head for the hills. In midlife, stressed and stretched in every direction, author Jane Matthews and her sister Shirley decided it was time to do just that - their goal a return to Alfred Wainwright's COAST TO COAST WALK, taking a weekend out at a time over one summer to complete the 190-miles from North to Irish Sea. Skin and Blisters is the story of their journey, an inspiring call to arms for anyone wanting to shake up their own life, gain some perspective on the middle years, or simply enjoy a love affair with some of the very best of Britain's highways and byways.
