Wilderness Mum The inspiring true story of the Finding Hildasay family

‘A truly inspiring story of courage, resilience and the call of the wild. Wilderness Mum is a testament to the extraordinary things we are capable of’ – Tim PeakeMost people believe the wild years end when motherhood begins. For me, that’s when they truly started.For years, Kate Barron lived a conventional life as a dedicated teacher in London – but her spirit longed for wilder horizons. Trading her classroom for a backpack, she embarked on a journey that led her from the jungles of Colombia to a windswept Scottish clifftop, where a chance encounter changed everything.There she met Chris Lewis, a homeless ex-paratrooper whose own journey inspired the Sunday Times bestseller Finding Hildasay. Their meeting sparked an epic love story and a shared mission: living in a tent for years while walking the entire length of the UK coastline. But Kate’s biggest challenge was yet to come. Choosing to have a baby without pausing their walk, she navigated pregnancy, childbirth and the realities of new motherhood while living completely outdoors.Wilderness Mum is the extraordinary true story of what happens when you refuse to follow the script. It’s a love letter to the wild, a testament to the strength of the human spirit and an inspiring guide to embracing motherhood without sacrificing the adventure of a lifetime.
