A road journal by Andy Marshall
Scotland to Cornwall
In Pursuit
of Spring.
Andy Marshall set out on an epic road trip from the north of Scotland to the tip of Cornwall—in pursuit of spring in the depths of winter.
Ten days. Ten places. Every day, one written post and one watercolour.
The road may be complete, but this journey is always open. Take it whenever you need light, renewal, or a reason to begin moving again.

Choose how
to look.
Start anywhere. Draw one day from the journey, step into its weather, place and state of mind—and see what it brings to your own moment.
A turn of chance
Set the journey
in motion.
Let the days spin past and stop at a place you might never have chosen for yourself.
The complete daily diary
Follow every
mile.
Read from Scotland to Cornwall, one encounter at a time. Each day pairs a field-written reflection with the watercolour Andy was tasked to make before moving on.
After the last mile
Two ways to
look back.
The journey ends twice: the first in reflective words and the second in a sketchbook that captures the spirit of each day.
