The story of the couple who lost everything & embarked on a journey, not of escape, but salvation. Just days after Raynor learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, the couple lose their home & their livelihood. With nothing left & little time, they make the brave & impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset via Devon & Cornwall. They have almost no money for food or shelter & must carry only the essentials for survival on their backs as they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea & sky. Yet through every step, every encounter, & every test along the way, their walk becomes a remarkable journey. The Salt Path is an unflinchingly honest, inspiring & life-affirming true story of coming to terms with grief & the healing power of the natural world. Ultimately, it is a portrayal of home, & how it can be lost, rebuilt & rediscovered in the most unexpected ways. About the author Since travelling the South West Coastal Path, Raynor Winn has become a regular long-distance walker & writes about nature, homelessness & wild camping. She lives in Cornwall. This is her first book.
