Just days after Raynor Winn’s husband, Moth was diagnosed with a terminal illness they lost their home and livelihood. Facing homelessness and poverty they didn’t know what to do. They couldn’t qualify for a council home, their children were at university, they didn’t want to be a burden on friends, they were in the depths of despair. So they impulsively decided to walk the 630 mile South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall. Wild camping and living on noodles, tuna and cups of tea they discovered a new liberating existence. But what would they do at the journey’s end?
There has been a lot of controversy over the accuracy of Winn’s claims about the events that led to the couple losing their home, about business deals, her husband’s diagnosis and the walk itself. If the walk did happen as portrayed in the book it was an interesting ordeal.
