About this listen

Step into an adventure that set the country alight.

Anna McNuff had never run a mile without shoes on before. And yet, one British summer, she set off to run a (very) wiggly route from the Shetland Islands to London–on a mission to cover the distance of 100 marathons…in bare feet.

Fuelled by a desire to push mind and body to the limit (and to drink tea and eat biscuits), she zigzagged over rugged coastlines, through small villages, across windswept moors, along golden sandy beaches, and even down the odd picturesque A-road. As the journey gathered pace, she was joined by thousands of other runners and soon learned that, even though she was (usually) the only one in bare feet, this was far from a solo journey.

Barefoot Britain is warm-hearted, funny and painfully honest–featuring remote islands, big cities, kind strangers and setbacks-a-plenty. It’s a story which reveals the messy reality of taking on a crazy idea, and above all, shows how one person’s will to dig deep and carry on can encourage others to do the same.

Having thoroughly enjoyed Anna’s earlier adventure books, and followed her barefoot Britain challenge as it unfolded I couldn’t wait for this book!

Anna’s honesty and sense of humour show why she is an inspiration to young and old alike, the Brownies are lucky to have her!!

As an older runner I certainly agree with the adventure running sentiment, my runs across the South Downs with Isla the cockapoo are great release from the day today. Anna’s adventures have lead me to look for less beaten paths, for which thank you!

Keep up the good work, although a young family may curtail a little of the madness! Hopefully not!

Anna McNuff you are a triumph!

I have loved all of Anna’s books so I was overjoyed to see this book had been released. Anna’s narrates her own story with such joy, honesty and humour. It’s a brilliant tale of her epic run with great honesty and wry perspective. I felt like I had done the journey with her. What’s so inspiring about Anna is she makes you believe you can do amazing things too…so listen and be prepared for your life to be that little bit richer when you finish. Thank you Anna 🥳

Listening to Anna is like having Christmas every day
