Twenty miles toward a second chance.

Kellynch Hall is Austen’s invention, so the book offers no road to measure. StoryTrek’s route sets the journey at 20 miles, with 8 waypoints drawn from the story. Every walk, run, or treadmill session your phone records carries Anne closer to Bath.

IIThe road ahead

Old loves, new chances.

The route begins at Kellynch Hall, the Elliot family seat that Anne’s father can no longer afford, and ends in Bath. Along the way it follows Anne through old regrets, quiet acts of kindness, and Captain Wentworth’s return, up to the letter he finally writes her.

Each waypoint pairs a restored illustration by C. E. Brock with a moment from Austen’s final completed novel. Reach one, and the next part of the path opens.

Walk it together

Start a company and walk it with a friend, a book club, or the people you work with. Everyone walks their own miles, wherever they are, and you all arrive in Bath together.
