From the lochs of Scotland to England's South West Coast, here is a powerful story of a thousand-mile healing walk. Raynor Winn knows that her husband Moth's health is declining and she knows of only one cure. It worked once before, but will or can he set out with her on another healing walk? The Cape Wrath Trail is hundreds of 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 the couple northwards. The regular long distance walker writes about nature, homelessness and our relationship to the land and lives in Cornwall with her husband Moth. She was the author of the bestselling The Salt Path and The Wild Silence which both won prizes for nature writing. This third book is an incredible and unforgettable story about fragility, girded by resolve and courage to keep going. Chapters include Sheigra to Fort William, Fort William to Milngavie, Milngavie to Kirk Yetholm, The Pennine Way, Hearths, Towpaths and Offa's Dyke Pass, Chepstow to Plymouth and Plymouth to Polruan on the South West Coast Path. 'Wynn exudes the soul of a poet and the grit of a survivor.' - Kirkus Review. 306pp, map.
