When a sudden illness robs Cathy Birchall of her sight, she faces a choice: retreat from the world or find new ways to engage with it. She chooses adventure. What follows is an extraordinary journey of rediscovery as she learns to navigate wild landscapes without vision, proving that blindness needn't mean the end of exploration.

From scrambling up mountains to wild swimming, Birchall demonstrates remarkable courage and determination in reclaiming her connection to the natural world. Her story is both deeply personal and universally inspiring, offering fresh perspectives on what it means to truly experience the outdoors. This is a powerful testament to human resilience and the transformative power of nature, showing how our other senses can open up landscapes in ways we never imagined.
