Description

In one devastating week, Raynor and her husband Moth lost their home of 20 years, just as a terminal diagnosis took away their future together. With nowhere else to go, they decided to walk the South West Coast Path- a 630-mile sea-swept trail from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall. This ancient, wind-battered landscape strips them of every comfort they had previously known. With very little money for food or shelter, Raynor and Moth carry everything on their backs and wild camp on beaches and clifftops. But slowly, with every step, every encounter, and every test along the way, the walk sets them on a remarkable journey. They don't know how far they will travel, but - to their surprise - they find themselves on a path to freedom. The Salt Path is an unflinchingly honest, inspiring, and life-affirming true story about coming to terms with grief and the healing power of nature. Ultimately, it is a book about home, and how it can be lost, rebuilt, and rediscovered in the most unexpected of ways.

Author Biography

Farmer's daughter Raynor Winn worked as a trainee clerk in a magistrate's court, while studying for a law degree in her spare time, until she traded in her urban life to acquire and restore a ruined farm in Wales. The farm became her home and her business for 20 years. Since her homeless period, she has become a regular long-distance walker and has written about her homelessness for Big Issue and Pavement magazines. A prolific reader and lifelong nature lover, Raynor now lives in Cornwall with her husband Moth and their dog. The author and her husband are planning further extreme walks.
