The uplifting true story of a family who left their old life behind to spend a year living wild in a tent around Britain. With a baby and a toddler, mounting debt, work demands and stress trampling over their desire to spend time together as a family in nature, Jen and Sim Benson move out of their rented accommodation, sell up their possessions, and decide to live in a tent for a year as nomads around rural Britain in the search for a simpler, more meaningful way of life. This is the story of that year, the doubts, epiphanies and the weather, the hardships of each season experienced in the great outdoors. Chapters include At Home in Wiltshire and the Peak District, From London to Wilder Places, A Cottage on Dartmoor, Christmas Under Canvas in the Blackdown Hills, Restorations in Cornwall and the South Hams, The Kindness of Strangers in Dorset and on Exmoor, The Highs and Lows in the Lake District, Idyllic Summer Days in the Welsh Borders, Festivals and A Return to Dartmoor.
