Please Note That The Following Individual Books As Per Original ISBN and Cover Image Shall be Dispatched Raynor Winn Collection 3 Books Raynor Winn knows that her husband Moth's health is declining, getting worse by the day. She knows of only one cure. It worked once before. But will he - can he? - set out with her on another healing walk? 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.The Wild In 2016, days before they were unjustly evicted from their home, Raynor Winn was told her husband Moth was dying. Instead of giving up they embarked on a life-changing walking the 630-mile South West Coast Path, living by their wits, determination and love of nature. But all journeys must end and when the couple return to civilisation they find that four walls feel like a prison, cutting them off from the sea and sky that sustained them - that had saved Moth's life.The Salt Just days after Raynor learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, their home is taken away and they lose their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall. Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea and sky.
After walking the South West Coast Path, Raynor Winn became a long distance walker and now writes about nature, homelessness and wild camping. She lives in Cornwall.
Not as good as the hype sadly. The 1st book The Salt Path has a good premise - middle-aged couple losing their home and embarking on a new adventure to walk over 600miles on the rugged coastal path through several counties, but it is in fact repetitive, boring and unbelievable. If your husband had just been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, would you continue to insist he sleeps in a wet tent without meds, exist on fudge bars and tinned tuna, and tackle endless miles walking each day in all weathers? I think not. He hardly features in the book at all...although at the end he will become a student, get a student loan and they will live together in a cheap rental property, whilst she starts writing this best-seller - now to be turned into a film, starring Gillian Anderson. Think Win is a lovely descriptive writer ,and enjoyed her scenery & landscape sections, but she definitely has a chip on her shoulder about losing her family home, ok quite rightly so, but she is judgemental towards everyone from café owners charging for water to campsite owners charging for space to pitch their tent, to other homeless people and even refugees - she wants everything for free.
Im so sad this trilogy journey and landlines has ended! I relived living in Britain…the landscape, the people, the water! I wrote in the margins knowing Moth would approve!! Stopped and took in Raynors beautiful thoughts and writing! Loved every sentence! All three books were a pleasure to read! (The audio is lovely as well)
I found the 3 books by Raymor Winn inspiring and hopeful. Resilience is taken to a whole new level as Raymor meets life’s challenges head on. Her refusal to accept her husband’s decline in health and to accept age as a barrier to anything has given me much to think about. A wonderful set of books
The first book is the best but the others are enjoyable. One of those books that once you have started its hard to put down; adventure reality, heartache, endurance, optimism and reward; well written, great holiday read.
Boring. Reading these books is like being trapped in public transportation, with people farting next to you. It is not a good feeling. And it stinks. I have reviewed these books separately. It is supposed to be about walking and contemplation. Instead, it is not inspiring anything. At least not for me.
