Have just finished The Salt Path by Raynor Winn and found it inspiring and thoughtful. Ray and Moth decide to walk the S W Coastal Path after a terminal illness diagnosis for one of them and both loosing their home and livelihood. If you know parts of the path from Minehead to Studland her descriptions are vivid, you could be there with them, well worth the read. It also gives a very different perspective on homelessness.

I heard her on Radio 4 talking about their experience.

I have this on my wish list but am waiting until it gets cheaper! I have recently read the book recommended in the early pages of The Salt Path about a man who did the same walk. It was from this earlier book that Raynor Winn got the idea for her own walk. Sorry, I can't remember the name of this author.
