Pictures from the coast

In April 2015, photographer Quintin Lake set off from the steps of St Paul's Cathedral to walk round the coast of the British mainland. Over the next five years, he walked for 454 days; then it took him the best part of five years to sort the photographs - and now, of course, there is a book.

I have spent far too long exploring the many the photographs on Quintin Lake's website, and look forward to spending more.

There's a taster in a BBC 'Set Out' feature. What moment from the walk did the BBC choose to spotlight, leading off the article with it?
Camping out on the wild cliffs in Caithness in north-west Scotland, British photographer Quintin Lake wasn't short on company. This remote, blustery corner of the UK is home to thousands of nesting puffins, and Lake spent a "magical" evening and morning with the colourful creatures as they waddled, paraded, fed and groomed before leaving for the winter.
