This is a story about hardship and struggling against insurmountable odds, refusing to give in. But it is also about hope and there are also many moments of humour that pop up, little lamps of laughter brightening a bleak path. Fans of The Salt Path will love this moving continuation of Raynor and her husband Moth's journey . . . Alongside beautiful nature writing, there are thought-provoking observations on our countryside and the threat it is under' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING Embarking on a journey across the Cape Wrath Trail, over 200 miles of gruelling terrain through Scotland's remotest mountains and lochs, Raynor and Moth look to an uncertain future. Fearing that miracles don't often repeat themselves.

Walking the 320-kilometre Cape Wrath Trail through the north of Scotland looked like an achievable undertaking for Raynor Winn and her husband, Moth, who at the time was suffering from a degenerative illness. The plans for the jaunt, after all, had been laid out during a warm Cornish spring, when the hardships and perils of what’s considered to be one of Britain’s most challenging long-distance walks appeared remote. In her bestselling debut, The Salt Path, Raynor Winn walked several hundred miles round England’s South West Coast Path with her husband, Moth, sleeping wild and virtually penniless after their home was lost to bailiffs. Worse, Moth had been diagnosed with corticobasal degeneration, a brain disease for which there was neither cure nor treatment. And yet, as Winn recalls in the opening of this, her second book, as they walked the clifftop paths from Minehead to Polruan, “he’d grown stronger. The fog in his brain had cleared, his movements had become surer, easier to control. Why, why, why had that happened?” Also I got the feeling that whilst the previous events in Raynor's and Moth's lives were genuine hardship, illness aside, this time there is no mention of money struggle or having to work. They just go where they like when when they want to. Was a sponsor paying for the boots, food, hotels etcetera? esimese raamatu kodutuseiklusest eristab seda siin muidugi asjaolu, et vahepeal on (põhiliselt nendesamade raamatute abil) majanduslikult jälle järjele saadud ja võimalik on vajadusel valida öö hotellis või, khm, osta jalgrattad. rääkimata uutest matkasaabastest või telgist. selle üle on mul muidugi ainult hea meel, sest haige olla on juba piisav väljakutse ja seda pole tingimata vaja vaesuse lisamisega raskemaks teha. There's humour and resourcefulness in overcoming the weather, the characters they meet along the way and the terrain (thought there's a lot of time devoted to ill fitting boots and blisters!). And Raynor often worries about how Moth is coping and whether they will reach their destination(s).

Simply not the same for me. Great to hear of Moth's recovery. Nice to hear about so many places in the UK. Good ideas for walking. Not good to hear one-sided views on politics and evolution. Winn’s spoken sections are about more than giving narrative structure to the album. She is a brilliant scene-setter too: her lists of flowers and plants before Lemonday, for example, become a kind of meditation, a trance-like state where fiddle strings buzz and drone-like bees. Her reading style is unadorned, delighting in its own wildness. We learn a lot – about the withiers’ trade, for example – without ever feeling we are being preached to.

This is the third in a series of books which started with 'The Salt Path'. In that bestselling memoir, Raynor Winn recounted how she and her husband, Moth, decided to walk the South West Coast Path after the loss of their home and livelihood and with him having received the diagnosis of a terminal condition. That walk proved a life-saver for both of them and here she describes how Moth still needs to keep walking. noh, ja eelmistest raamatutest veel rohkem on siia puistatud moraaliga mõtisklusi sel teemal, kuidas inimesed kaotavad kontakti maaga, kuidas maa müüakse maha ja ehitatakse täis ja külvatakse sinna monokultuure ja loodusele jääb järjest vähem ruumi. lisaks sinna juurde veel pandeemia lõpp (usaldamatus võõraste vastu eriti väikestes kogukondades) ja Brexitist tingitud jamad (Raynor on sunnitud käima tuhat miili vale suurusega saabastes, sest tema suurust lihtsalt kuskil ei ole, sest... tarneraskused) ja kokku on see kõik ikkagi päris nukker ka. An inspiring and beautifully written story of hope and healing . . . We, her readers, are privileged to walk alongside her * Countryfile *It is incredible,” says Raynor. “So many people get in touch wanting to know how Moth is and to wish him well. That is one of the most powerful things to have come from writing these books – the connection with the reader has been such a joy. This is the third book in a series, and while the reader may benefit from reading the first two novels, as I intend to do, this book is enjoyable on its own as well. Barnes, Dan (21 June 2023).

She knows of only one cure. It worked once before. But will he—can he?—set out with her on another healing walk? As is so often the case in folk music, there are political undertones to many of these songs, not least the short snippet Cornish Lads are Fishermen, which became an anthem for both fishermen and tin miners as their livelihoods were stripped away. Winn’s commentary sets the scene in a brisk and insightful way and brings the story up to date with observations of young, unemployed men meeting in the queue for the foodbank.
