Critics Review

• Raynor Winn has done it again. She’s achieved a miracle, defying all odds and walking 1,000 miles with her beloved husband Moth. But she has also given her vast army of fans – both armchair hikers and the real thing – another wondrous book, full of compassion, humour, insights, closeness to nature and true, bloody-minded grit. An inspiration.

  Isabella Tree, author of Wilding

• 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 . . . We, her readers, are privileged to walk alongside her

  Countryfile

• An inspirational story of love and endurance; of trails offering links to ancient times. But it’s clear-eyed, too, on the future we’re shaping

  Telegraph, 'Best travel books to buy for Christmas 2022'

• Another heartwarming odyssey, this time on one of the wildest walks in Britain . . . 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. Hers is a voice of empathy and integrity

  Spectator

• 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. Miracles might just happen when you put your best foot forward

  Saga Magazine

• I like the realism of her writing, about all the practicalities and discomforts, the midge bites, the blisters and the endless comforting cups of tea. All of this is underpinned by the deep love of a long marriage. Winn writes with a personal and passionate appreciation of nature
