Bucknall was educated at the Harrow School and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and served as an officer in the Coldstream Guards for 12 years.[4][5] He is the grandson of Lt Gen Gerard Bucknall and younger brother of James Bucknall. After retiring Bucknall set out on a 5,500 mile journey from Venice to Istanbul via 36 islands and every island chain in the Greek Archipelago.[6] It included 57 sea passages on 35 ferries, four landing craft, three hydrofoils, a fishing caique and a sea plane. The story of the trip became his first book, In the Dolphin's Wake.[7] In 2012 Bucknall embarked on another trip, where he walked 1,411 miles from London to Rome following the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrim path.[8][9] The story of this journey, Like a Tramp Like a Pilgrim, was published by Bloomsbury Publishing in July 2014.[10][11][12] In December 2014, Buckall and his former army driver Jock Davis, now a sergeant in the Metropolitan Police, walked 133 miles from Dorset to London in order to raise funds for homeless servicemen and women.[13][14] A year later, they followed it up with a 335 mile walk from the Scottish borders to St Paul's Cathedral in London, following the journey made by George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle when he marched from Coldstream to London enabling the Restoration of King Charles II. Their 14-day walk raised £28,000 for homeless veterans.[15] Bucknall was admitted as a Freeman of the City of London in 2015.[16] His new book A Road for All Seasons, telling the story of his 2500 mile journey across the length and breadth of Britain, will be published by Little Brown in March 2019.[17] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Finlayson|first1=Ian|title=Like a Tramp, Like a Pilgrim by Harry Bucknall|url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/arts/books/non-fiction/article4149115.ece|publisher=The Times|accessdate=21 November 2015}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bucknall, Harry}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Actor Martin Sheen praises Dorset author Harry Bucknall's pilgrimmage book|url=http://www.blackmorevale.co.uk/Actor-Martin-Sheen-praises-Dorset-author-Harry/story-21311997-detail/story.html|publisher=Blackmore Vale|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Harry Bucknall walks 1,411 mile pilgrimage|url=http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/10001135.Harry_Bucknall_walks_1_411_mile_pilgrimage/|publisher=Daily Echo|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Army commission|url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/50279/supplement/13871|accessdate=21 November 2015|issue=7 October 1985|publisher=The London Gazette}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Army retirement|url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/54336/page/3328|accessdate=21 November 2015|publisher=The London Gazette|date=4 March 1996}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=McCarthy|first1=John|title=Greek islands - Ireland by Kayak|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011msk6|publisher=BBC/Excess Baggage|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Greek odyssey fuelled by retsina|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/books/article-2007783/Greek-odyssey-fuelled-retsina-IN-THE-DOLPHINS-WAKE-BY-HARRY-BUCKNALL.html|publisher=Daily Mail|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Coles|first1=Richard|last2=Mir|first2=Aasmah|title=Katy Brand and Harry Bucknall|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04d0hxq|publisher=BBC Radio 4|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 9. ^{{cite web|last1=Balding|first1=Clare|title=Interview 17/08/2014|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04cns9s|publisher=BBC Radio 2|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=As a pilgrim, you never walk alone|url=http://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2014/5-september/features/features/as-a-pilgrim-you-never-walk-alone|publisher=Church Times|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 11. ^{{cite web|title=After 1,411 miles, I'm still a Sinner|url=http://www.exacteditions.com/read/catholic-herald/8-august-2014-39859/6/2/Harry%20Bucknall|publisher=The Catholic Herald|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=Harry Bucknall's pilgrimage|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p021y4rl|publisher=BBC Radio Bristol|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 13. ^{{cite web|last1=Bolado|first1=Catherine|title=Former army officer to tackle epic walk in aid of homeless ex-servicemen|url=http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/11664706.Former_army_officer_to_tackle_epic_walk_in_aid_of_homeless_ex_servicemen/|publisher=Dorset Echo|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Harry Bucknall and Coldstream Guard comrade Jock Davis raise £13,500 for Walking with the Wounded|url=http://www.blackmorevale.co.uk/Harry-Bucknall-Coldstream-Guard-comrade-Jock/story-25811447-detail/story.html|publisher=Blackmore Vale|accessdate=21 November 2015}} 15. ^{{cite web|title= Ex-army pair make it home for Christmas |url=http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/14155442.Ex_army_pair_make_it_home_for_Christmas/?ref=rss|publisher=Northern Echo|accessdate=26 April 2016}} 16. ^{{cite web|title=List of Applications for the Freedom|url= http://democracy.cityoflondon.gov.uk/documents/s39042/Freedoms.pdf|publisher=City of London|accessdate=13 June 2017}} 17. ^{{cite web|title=My friend, travel writer and retired Coldstream Guards officer Harry Bucknall set off on his epic walk from Mull to Dover|url= https://www.facebook.com/217219011707115/photos/pcb.1269356666493339/1269356409826698/?type=3 |publisher=Tan Twan Eng Facebook page|accessdate=13 June 2017}} 7 : English male writers|British travel writers|Living people|1965 births|21st-century British writers|People educated at Harrow School|Graduates of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst |
