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' TELEGRAPH'An inspiring and beautifully written story of hope and healing .

If you followed Raynor and husband Moth on The Salt Path, you will thrill to join them on this epic walk, from Scotland's wild and beautiful Cape Wrath Trail. From the glens of Scotland to the familiar shores of the South West Coast Path, this is the inspiring story of a thousand-mile journey and love letter to our land. 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? Raynor Winns erstes Buch "Der Salzpfad“ erzählte von der gemeinsamen Fernwanderung mit ihrem Mann Moth auf dem South West Coast Path in Cornwall, zu der sie als Obdachlose nach Privatinsolvenz und der Diagnose CBD (kortikobasale Degeneration) bei Moth aufbrachen. Winn seems to have a bird’s-eye view of Britain – a map at her feet, a keen eye for detail, particularly for social injustice.Het is goed geschreven, met mooie beschrijvingen van hun wandeltocht van noord Schotland tot zuid Engeland, maar het raakte me niet zodanig dat andere boeken wel doen. The Wild Silence did not hold the same novelty value but I enjoyed her exploration of mindset v nature. It's clear the couple care greatly for the natural world, and for people's right to spend time in nature. 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.

She also says things about how a man who scouts out stags so they can be killed/hunted by rich twats has a genuine, deep affection for the deers. There are other recurring motifs too – the gift of friendship and the kindness of strangers, even during the strange phobia-inducing times of Covid-19.The endurance, strength, and love they both have to do this in the name of hope is inspiring, and I was truly warmed and hooked by it. Some things have changed: Ray and Moth no longer pass unrecognised, they are no longer homeless, they no longer have to survive on the most meagre of trail rations, but the shadow of Moth’s illness – a condition known as corticobasal degeneration – has not gone away. As they map with each step the landscape of their island nation, they find themselves facing existential questions—about themselves and about their country—during this epic, inspiring odyssey.

An inspiration' ISABELLA TREE'A tale of remarkable resilience and nature writing at its best' iSome people live to walk. Having walked some of the areas they cover in their route, I also found myself recollecting my own walks and how they’ve impacted me.I enjoyed the personal story and the descriptions of places, some of which were familiar to me but I thought there was too much "save the world" polemic. Though they embarked during the height of the pandemic, they were encouraged by the possibility that intense physical exertion could work its magic and forestall the worsening of his condition. While they trudge on, the reader is treated to Scottish history, geography, and anecdotes from their life, as they witness homelessness, climate crisis, and extinction. Weighed on by concern for Moth's health, this time the couples pilgrim through the wild seems like something of a last cry for help. Een aantal elementen werden vaak herhaald (Ray’s schuldgevoel, Moths langzame herstel, het thee drinken, tóch als maar verder lopen), waardoor het soms wat voorspelbaar werd.
