5 Life Lessons Learnt from Reading The Salt Path by Raynor Winn

There’s not a week that goes by when I’m not asked for <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38085814-the-salt-path?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=uBNk6kSAod&rank=2" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">The Salt Path</a> or anything by Raynor Winn at work. She’s one of those writers that have been immensely popular in the last few years that I’ve never got around to reading. On a recent camping trip, I decided to take the plunge and read The Salt Path. On paper, it went well with what I was doing (hiking, camping and contemplating life) but I didn’t expect it to be so emotional, or to come away from it wanting to share all the pockets of wisdom I learnt. The Salt Path is a beautiful blend of nature writing, memoir and self help written by Raynor Winn as she retells the story of how her and her very ill husband, Moth, were suddenly made homeless. Not having anywhere to go, or people to stay with, they decide to go on a very long walk from Wales to Lands End, wild camping along the way and seeing where they end up. It’s all they can do, as their home is taken away from them (which was also their business) — as Moth’s illness progresses and the winter months creep ahead. The end result is a powerful story that makes you think about how we are never too far away from losing everything, but one also littered with powerful life lessons that make you pause. <a href="https://medium.com/publishous/5-life-lessons-learnt-from-reading-the-salt-path-by-raynor-winn-28fbdae910d3">Read More</a>
