Doubling Back

‘Doubling Back’ is a moving account of walking in the footsteps of others. In 1952 Linda Cracknell’s father embarked on a hike through the Swiss Alps. It was the last walk he would ever take. Fifty years later, Linda retraces that fateful journey, following the trail of the man she barely knew. This collection of walking tales take their theme from that pilgrimage. The walks trace the contours of memories, following friends, writers and relations along trails across mountains, valleys and coasts from the Highlands of Scotland to Kenya.
