Raynor Winn is the bestselling author of The Salt Path and The Wild Silence. The Salt Path won the inaugural RSL Christopher Bland Prize and was shortlisted for the 2018 Costa Biography Award and the Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize. The Wild Silence was shortlisted for the 2021 Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. She is a regular long-distance walker and writes about nature, homelessness and our relationship to the land.

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

Another heartwarming odyssey, this time on one of the
wildest walks in Britain . . . Winn seems to have a bird's-eye

particularly for social injustice. Hers is a voice of empathy
and integrity * GUARDIAN *

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 * Perceptive Travel
