Product Information

Remarkably it has helped in the past, alleviating his condition, mitigating symptoms. However, Moth’s condition is worse than it has ever been. He is slowly losing his battle, his muscles growing weaker with each day. Eventually he will lose his speech, memory, and not be able to breath. 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? 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. lisaks sinna juurde veel pandeemia lõpp (usaldamatus võõraste vastu eriti väikestes kogukondades) ja Brexitist tingitud jamad (Raynor on sunnitud käima tuhat miili vale suurusega saabastes, sest tema suurust lihtsalt kuskil ei ole, sest... tarneraskused) ja kokku on see kõik ikkagi päris nukker ka. The Cape Wrath Trail is hundreds of miles of grueling 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 years earlier—and their hope is that this experience can work its magic again. This book is between 3-4 stars, and perhaps I'll change the rating one day, but for now, it sits at around 3.5 stars. I felt really torn giving this book this rating as I loved a lot of it. I loved the premise of the book- walking to try and reverse a chronic, degenerative disease. As someone with a chronic illness, it spoke of hope, and has made me very thoughtful, wondering whether immersing myself in nature could help my conditions.

These are the questions Raynor asks herself as she embarks on her most ambitious walk to date alongside her husband Moth - from the dramatic beauty of the Cape Wrath Trail in the north-west corner of Scotland, to the familiar territory of the South-west Coast Path.

Eindelijk was daar dan het derde deel van de tocht van Moth en Ray. Wederom de prachtige, heldere en beeldende taal. Het voelt alsof je deel bent van de wandeling. Een aantal elementen werden vaak herhaald (Ray’s schuldgevoel, Moths langzame herstel, het thee drinken, tóch als maar verder lopen), waardoor het soms wat voorspelbaar werd. Ik miste de onverwachte wending en / of nieuwe gebeurtenis in dit boek een beetje. 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 powerful story of a 1,000-mile healing walk—from the lochs of Scotland to England's southwest coast—in a remarkable evocation of modern-day Britain. She knows of only one cure: the healing power of walking. Embarking on a journey across the Cape Wrath Trail, over 200 miles of gruelling terrain through Scotland's remotest mountains and lochs, Raynor and Moth look to an uncertain future. A captivating reflection on nature and the lines that divide and shape countries and people * Sainsbury's Magazine *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? 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' * As they traverse the path, they encounter other walkers, negotiate dangerous terrain, struggle with injuries and the will to continue their journey, many times teetering on the brink of giving up. While they trudge on, the reader is treated to Scottish history, geography, and anecdotes from their life, as they witness homelessness, climate crisis, and extinction. It all makes for an interesting read, especially if, like me, you know very little about Scotland.

vast on siin raamatus eelmistest rohkem kõhklust ja süütunnet ja seda küsimust, et kas ta ikka suudab, kas me suudame. muidugi ei võeta ette ka lihtsat ülesannet, esimene plaan on matkata läbi Cape Wrath Trail Šotimaal ja see on ka noore ja terve inimese jaoks paras katsumus. aga lõppeb see lugu muidugi ikka sellega, et Fort Williamis pidama ei jääda, sest West Highland Way kutsub... ja Glasgows ka ei jääda pidama... ja kui juba möödaminnes on Pennine Way ka ära tehtud, siis on selge, et enne koduni (Cornwallis) jõudmist see paar rongi peale ei istu. This is a story about hardship and struggling against insurmountable odds, refusing to give in. But it is also about hope and there are also many moments of humour that pop up, little lamps of laughter brightening a bleak path. This is the third book in a series, and while the reader may benefit from reading the first two novels, as I intend to do, this book is enjoyable on its own as well. 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' TELEGRAPHIn Landlines, she records in luminous prose the strangers and friends, wilderness and wildlife they encounter on the way - it's a journey that begins in fear but can only end in hope. By nature, we are ambulatory creatures. Our bodies are designed for movement. In an increasingly sedentary world, this is a story about walking. Walking long distances. Walking to heal.
