Episode notes

The Cape Wrath Trail is the most difficult, unway marked path in Britain. It's 230 miles through the wildest part of Britain and runs down to Fort William. I love the way that so much of your work has become about keeping on walking. Why it's so important metaphorically and physically to just keep moving through the landscape.

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.

Author Raynor Winn talks to Katherine May about the losing her home when her husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and finding new life from having nothing.

Raynor Winn has captured a multitude of hearts with her book, The Salt Path, which recounts the time she lost her home just as her husband received a terminal diagnosis. With nothing to lose, they set off to walk the South West Coast Path carrying nothing but a tent.

Here Raynor reflects on that transformative time that redefined the meaning of home - and gives a welcome update on Moth’s health. We also hear about her book, The Wild Silence.

I adored talking to Raynor about our shared love of the South West Coast Path, as I always do :)
