About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Walking Home, by Clare Balding.
In Clare Balding's family, walking just took too long - she galloped through the countryside and she galloped through life. Then, in 1999, Clare took a call from a BBC producer looking for a presenter for a new radio series. "Do you walk?" she asked. "Well, I walk the dog...."
That series, Ramblings, is still going strong - and Clare's caught the walking bug. Now she wants her family to share some of that pleasure. Her and her brother Andrew are determined to conquer the Wayfarer's Walk, a 71-mile route. What could possibly go wrong?

What did you like most about Walking Home?
If you enjoyed Clare Balding's previous autobiography, you will like this. Full of honest character portraits and humour, it rollicks along like the brisk walks that are so well described. It made me want to look for the podcasts of Ramblings which is the Radio 4 series that the book is derived from.What did you like best about this story?
It encouraged us to keep on walking, even when it becomes harder and the weather is miserable.What about Clare Balding’s performance did you like?
She reads her own words very well as though they have only just been penned. You can tell that she is an experienced and enjoyable to listen to radio professional. Creating pictures and people through commentary is a wonderful art worth preserving in this visual age.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Walking with friends and family - blisters and all.Any additional comments?
I am looking forward to further tales from Clare.Life affirming Clare Balding does it again
