To reach Machu Picchu one must first navigate a path over the Andes Mountains, instead of hiking I chose to ride across by horse. As a novice rider every day was special, a real adventure and one that I shall never forget. Along the way I stayed in purpose built lodges, had a dip in a glacial lake, received a blessing from a Shaman and ate guinea pig for lunch. Later I managed to survive: a car crash, hotel eviction, a terrifying flight over the Nazca Lines and a severe bout of food poisoning. Life is seldom dull when I am on my travels.

Just days after Raynor learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, their home is taken away and they lose their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall.

Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea and sky. Yet through every step, every encounter and every test along the way, their walk becomes a remarkable journey.

The Salt Path is an honest and life-affirming true story of coming to terms with grief and the healing power of the natural world. Ultimately, it is a portrayal of home, and how it can be lost, rebuilt and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.
