Freedom Walk: Following Hadrian's Wall Path Across England - Hardcover

Can you ever break free from the patterns of life? Are you really stuck with no choices? What would happen if you were diagnosed with a terminal illness? Would you find a way to change your life, even if you didn't know how much time you had left?

After thirty years of running their own businesses, Bianca and Bill realize they need a change. Bill's blood pressure is dangerously high, and they have both gained more weight than they care to admit. Freedom Walk is a personal account of how lives can be transformed with intention and commitment.

Come share the adventure as they walk across England at 50+ years old.

Once in England, they savour the sights, sounds, and smells of the landscape and the villages along the wall path: Bowness on Solway, Carlisle, Twice Brewed, and Wallsend. They recount tales of other wall walkers, innkeepers, and the culinary delights they experience along the way-from the full Cumbrian breakfast to a variety of flavour-filled dinners. With wild flowers, the call of pheasants, and the wall wending in the distance to accompany them, Bill and Bianca awaken to the beauty and magic of being in the present moment. But the walk also brings unexpected challenges, both physical and emotional. Their commitment to each other and to the walk itself helps them complete the journey-closer as a couple than ever.

"A delightful account of a life-altering trip, written in a lovely, personal style that makes the reader feel like a close friend." -Diane Keating, Instructor in English, University of Winnipeg
