This isn't exactly headline news - although it was then. I went from perfectly locatable in the Cotswolds to utterly baffled in the American wilderness when I embarked on a quest to walk from Mexico to Canada for reasons that escape me. It was most probably nothing more dramatic than a mid-life crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps I should have come 'home' but I lived in the deluded optimism the pandemic would all be over by the summer. Besides, I'd given up my home: shoving my belongings into storage, persuaded someone to look after my cat and someone else to look after my car. I did think about returning but each time I popped into civilisation to top up my supplies, I discovered a new reason to run for the hills. So 'home' became a tent: a mere flimsy bit of fabric to protect me from every conceivable terror that exists in the wilderness - bears, rattlesnakes, deserts, avalanches and other human beings. Most dangerous of all was the racket inside my head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEverything you ever taught me\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis my journey, relying on nothing other than the twelve steps of recovery, teaching me to take it one day at a time, one step at a time, and one bloody ginormous mountain at a time as I staggered my way along the Pacific\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eCrest\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eTrail.
