'Lost' man who met love of his life walking entire UK coastline announces birth of baby

A man from Swansea who set off on an adventure of self-discovery back in August, 2017, has now welcomed a new member to his coast-walking family - a baby boy.

Having previously gained a best friend in his pet canine, Jet, and later meeting the love of his life, Kate Barron, who he would later go on to become engaged to, Chris Lewis has now become dad to Magnus, who was born on May 1, weighing 8lb 14oz.

The former para initially set off solo on his effort to walk the entire UK coastline, raising money for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. He wanted to give back to those who helped him through difficult times. He set out from Llangennith Beach in the Gower, near his home in Swansea four years ago on a journey of self-discovery after he was left "lost" and "not knowing where to turn".
