We’ve … flown free with the eagles in the glens, become one with the weather on the wild moorland tops. The descriptions of the landscape are so beautiful that you have the idea that you see them in front of you. As they set out on their incredible thousand-mile journey back to the familiar shores of the South-west Coast Path, Raynor and Moth map the landscape of an island nation facing an uncertain path ahead. Wahrscheinlich ist es nicht mal Absicht, aber dieses Buch verweigert sich praktisch allem, was das "Ich war draußen und erzähle davon"-Genre sonst macht, und das fand ich gut. Like the path under their feet, life is rarely straightforward or easy going, but the views can be exceptional.

noh, ja eelmistest raamatutest veel rohkem on siia puistatud moraaliga mõtisklusi sel teemal, kuidas inimesed kaotavad kontakti maaga, kuidas maa müüakse maha ja ehitatakse täis ja külvatakse sinna monokultuure ja loodusele jääb järjest vähem ruumi. Readers who have undertaken caretaking responsibilities for loved ones will find much to relate to in this honest depiction.We knew it wouldn’t be an easy trail to navigate, with no signposts or quick ways out, but that was part of the challenge. The Cape Wrath Trail is over two hundred miles of gruelling terrain through Scotland's remotest mountains and lochs. The obstacles were many: Moth stumbles up mountains, falls and bashes his head on a river rock, and endures severe foot pain.

So Raynor and Moth embark on an incredible thousand-mile journey: from Scotland to the familiar shores of the South West Coast Path, from Northumberland to the Yorkshire moors, and from Wales to home again. What I love about Raynor Winns writing, aside from her atmospheric use of language, is her ability to find hope in even the most daunting of challenges. Neue Wanderschuhe in der gängigsten Größe sollte man in Englands Geschäften nicht mehr erwarten, während sich an den Grenzen Import-Waren an der Zollabfertigung stauen.

selle üle on mul muidugi ainult hea meel, sest haige olla on juba piisav väljakutse ja seda pole tingimata vaja vaesuse lisamisega raskemaks teha. Auf ihrer ersten Etappe Sheigra - Fort William muss die nicht kartierte Route jedoch ständig dem Wetter und den Bodenverhältnissen angepasst werden, Flüsse sind zu durchqueren, von Mückenschwärmen noch nicht zu reden. This, combined with observations on the effect climate change is having on the landscape they walk through makes for bleak reading at times. If that one note, sung night after night, could be said to represent any of the themes in this wonderful book, it would be resilience. This affecting chronicle continues the narrative of Raynor’s previous two books, The Salt Path and The Wild Silence, with the customary observations on environmental degradation and human shortsightedness.
