or even simply exploring your own home with fresh eyes. In this

throughout to help identify finds. From tide tables for mudlarkers
to a flint guide for fieldlarkers, this book is richly informative
and yet small enough to pop in a pocket. Like a journal it invites
you to interact - to make notes and record finds along the way. If

_________________ Some people live to walk. Raynor and Moth walk to
live . . . 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? 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. As they set out on their incredible thousand-mile
journey back to the familiar shores of the South West Coast Path,
Raynor and Moth map the landscape of an island nation facing an

on the way - it's a journey that begins in fear but can only end in
hope. _________________
