Before his 19th birthday, the youth of mixed Celtic and Viking blood, had endured electrifying escapades whilst sailing the seven seas. More worldwide exploits enlivened Magnus’s journeys with some chilling encounters until he was cast ashore in Australia where he wholeheartedly embraced the New World’s "av-a-go-yer-mug" lifestyle. A brief encounter with the secretive and unregulated world of fine arts and the unexpected arrival in the Beyond, where everything is new, transcendental, and inexplicably, propelled Magnus into an eternal state of expecting the unexpected.

The book is an account of the day to day exploits of an expatriate Manxman and an Australian chum who seek to shake off the retirement blues by walking Alfred Wainwright’s Coast to Coast path. It took 18 days to walk the 191 miles from the priory village of St Bees on the Irish Sea to arrive at the former smuggler’s stronghold of Robin Hood’s Bay on the Yorkshire coast. The trail passes through some of England’s most rugged and sublime countryside.
