About this listen

In May 2021, Andy Kind set off from Edale in an attempt to walk the Peninne Way, something he had tried–and failed–to do twice before. From Derbyshire to Scotland, struggling against the weather and terrain and hindered both by himself and others, we follow his journey 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 a laugh-out-loud memoir that deals with the topics of grief, reconciliation and mental health, and asks the question:

What do you do when hope falls off a cliff?

The answer: Keep moving forward, one foot in front of the other, one step at a time.

Critic Reviews

“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)
