The Salt Path by Raynor Winn
Published July 14, 2025
When the furore around this book hit, I realised I had the memoir in my collection waiting to read - I must have bought it at some point when my obsession with the South West Coast Path was at its peak. So I had to give it a read, and I’m sort of glad I hadn’t already read it as it was more interesting with the background of the allegations against the author. From the book’s point of view, there’s only a little bit about how they end up on the path the way they have, the rest of it is more the spiritual journey and the hard work of being homeless on that path.
