Next on our mini ‘Women, Walking’ takeover, we’re hearing from artist and author @beatrice.searle whose essay weaves together the ancient history of Northumberland’s coastal rocks with the memories of her own family, exploring how walking can reconcile past and present, trauma and healing and the gap between generations.

🥾 There are some more contributors to come so stay tuned!

HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY to ‘Women, Walking’! On today’s big day, we’re hearing from writer Polly Atkin @pollyrowena whose essay unveils an alternative narrative of walking, where disability and chronic illness are not overwritten by stories of recovery and adventure, but are instead allowed to co-exist.

Polly also runs the Grasmere bookshop @samreadbookseller, where some exciting events for the book are being planned for later this year!

It’s publication week for ‘Women, Walking’ and we’re starting off with a word from the book’s author Kerri Andrews!

For too long, the history of walking and nature writing has focused on a very specific, singular narrative. But walking isn’t always about scaling the highest peak or conquering the wilderness alone. ‘Women, Walking’ features radical and inspiring essays from ten award-winning writers, which challenge the ideas of what walking is and can be.

🥾With essays from ten award-winning writers. Stay tuned across the week for some more content from the book’s contributors!
