About this deal

Het is weer mooi om te lezen, maar heel diep gaat het niet. Dit boek is alleen aan te raden voor degenen die de eerste twee boeken van Raynor Winn konden waarderen.

She knows of only one cure: the healing power of walking. 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. In this third book we see Moth’s condition has worsened. He struggles to prune the trees in the orchard, and feels unbalanced when walking. Having previously seen the restorative power of walking, the decision is made to undertake a walk they’ve always dreamed of. In Landlines, she records in luminous prose the strangers and friends, wilderness and wildlife they encounter on the way - it's a journey that begins in fear but can only end in hope. 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 Their journey from remote Scotland to the South West coast Path makes for inspiring reading * Boundless *

This has a great outlook on a good few areas of GB and if you were ever wondering about visiting then this has a little insight into that. Ik vind het fijn om weer te lezen over hun wandelavonturen. Ze zien de prachtigste uitzichten en komen regelmatig herten tegen en allerlei vogels. Maar er is ook veel tegenslag. If you liked The Salt Path you’ll enjoy this book, an incredible adventure with notes about the wildlife and surroundings in beautiful detail. Pfff, ik heb het boek eindelijk uit😅. Het Zoutpad heb ik na 150 pagina’s weggelegd. Dit wilde ik per se uitlezen. This third book about the lives and travels of an amazing couple is a must read. The life they are leading despite their problems and Moth’s illness is inspiring and helps to put most people’s problems in perspective.

Ik zit een beetje tussen twee en drie sterren in bij dit boek. Voor een deel gelden voor dit boek dezelfde opmerkingen die ik deels bij de andere delen al beschreven heb. De beschrijvingen van de natuur zijn mooi, maar je krijgt niet echt zicht op de twee hoofdpersonen, Ray en Moth. Verder vond ik het hele boek nogal deprimerend doordat de ontberingen die beide wandelaars moeten doorstaan de mooie momenten overschaduwen. Het verhaal is bijna een aaneenschakeling van regen, storm, muggen, steekvliegen en kapotte voeten. Het boek nodigt niet uit tot wandelen. Verder doet de informatie over de verschillende streken en dorpen nogal encyclopedisch aan en komen de filosofische opmerkingen mbt actuele onderwerpen zoals klimaat, Corona en Brexit nogal pathetisch over.As well as a portrait of a telepathic marriage of true minds, and a snapshot of a fretful island, this is a soaring lament and a tub-thumping tirade—for all that is being lost, for all that may yet be saved. The Telegraph Heartening and comforting... The nature writing is beautiful and it is a thrill to read. You feel the world is a better place because Raynor and Moth are in it * The Times * 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. In her signature Atmospheric prose, Raynor Winn takes readers on a walk that holds immense meaning and hope for her and Moth. The Cape Wrath Trail is over two hundred miles of gruelling terrain through Scotland's remotest mountains and lochs. But the lure of the wilderness and the beguiling beauty of the awaiting glens draw them northwards. Being one with nature saved them in their darkest hour and their hope is that it can work its magic again.
