About this listen

Raised in busy East London, Kate followed the expected path: excelling in school and forging a promising teaching career. But beneath the layers of her conventional life simmered an irrepressible desire to explore the world and live a life of adventure.

Kate's journey led her through the vibrant landscapes of South America and into the dangerous terrains of Afghanistan. Then one day on a cliff top in Scotland, fate struck when she crossed paths with fellow adventurer Chris Lewis. This chance meeting became a love story of epic proportions as together the couple walked the UK's entire coastline for the armed forces charity SSAFA.

Their adventure took an unexpected turn with the arrival of baby Magnus, yet Kate's spirit remained as wild and resolute as ever. With baby Magnus in tow, she continued navigating the rugged coastline of the UK, learning valuable lessons about herself and about motherhood with every step.

In Wilderness Mum, Kate blends her expertise in early years education with the invaluable lessons of raising a child surrounded by nature. Her story is a testament to living fearlessly, fostering curiosity, and embracing life's uncertainties.
