It’s publication day 🥳😭. Coasting is officially out in the world?!! I’ve wanted to write a book for far longer than I ever wanted to go on an adventure and I can’t believe it’s actually happened. So grateful for all the support so far ❤️.

Writer and runner @elisecdowning ran 5,000 miles self-supported around the British coast over the course of 10 months.
She joins @Datshiane to discuss Walk Britain, her new book exploring 90 car-free adventures, from the Cornish coast to the Isle of Arran ⬇️

Just over a year ago I took a one-way train from Bristol to Dorset to buy a van then spent most of last summer roaming around the UK in that tiny blue metal box. I’ve finally gotten around to writing down everything I’ve learned about van life. 😅

Three weeks on from @LavaredoUT 80km, I’ve finally written about the whole thing. I’ve tried to take my rose tinted glasses off but all I can really remember are the good bits… But we remembered the hard parts as clearly we’d never run again would we? 😅

I am *so* excited that we have @elisecdowning joining us this evening for a session on how to get started with adventure writing.
I like to call all the pools I swim in mini-adventures, so very excited to see how I can shape the narratives further! buytickets.at/journoresource…

In it I’ll be sharing everything I know about adventure writing including how and where to find ideas, executing those ideas and telling your story in your own way and finding an audience and getting your writing out there. There will also be plenty of time for Q&A.

It’s a virtual event on 19th June 6-7pm (UK time). Tickets are £4 but if cost is a barrier, there are also no-questions-asked free tickets available for anybody who needs. One of the reasons I was so keen to work with @journoresources is this commitment to accessibility!
