AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Unfit and unmotivated, Dempster was an unlikely candidate for a gruelling outdoor adventure. But in 2008 when her life needed a shake-up, she decided to hike the henro michi, a 1200 kilometre Buddhist pilgrimage through the mountains of Japan. Her transformation from overweight dole bludger to intrepid explorer is a witty and fascinating insight into the famed 88 Temple Pilgrimage.' (Publisher's blurb)
