Pathfinding

The hidden histories and present-day pathways of walking and motherhood and freedom.

Kerri Andrews is a writer, walker and academic with a PhD in women's literature. She is the author of Pathfinding: On Walking and Motherhood; Wanderers: A History of Women Walking and the editor of Way Makers: An Anthology of Women's Writing About Walking, as well as the first ever collection of Nan Shepherd's letters. She lives in Scotland with her two young children, but it was in the Yorkshire Dales that she discovered the delights of walking, before falling in love first with the Lake District and then the Scottish mountains. She is a member of Mountaineering Scotland and has so far climbed over 120 of Scotland's Munros.
