we're all moving into a world where we need to adapt, in ways we can't imagine right now. adapt to a new world and a changing climate. like the cuckoos moving north and the midges moving south. adapt our lifestyles to slow that change. adapt our borders. adapt our thinking about why we choose to have borders. adapt to a new life. adapt to a way of living it. adapt to survive"
i clearly need to spend some time in nature. as I was reading this, I kept getting intense waves of what I can only describe as grief - if I interrogate this feeling it seems to be a mixture of climate anxiety, feeling disconnected from the natural world & a longing for the time+energy+funds to go on more trips out into the landscape. the fact the planet is a paradise we've destroyed is too painful for words, but I can still do more to combat this by spending more time in nature & doing more to protect the earth.

Article about moth and Raynor potentially being grifters makes it much harder to read and brings into question if it’s fiction
I loved this! It’s so nice and devastatingly beautiful and sad and that last chapter was a emotional sucker punch.

I feel like the parts of the books where Raynor and Moth are walking are the best part. In the beginning of the book, I felt like they were completely irresponsible to go on another walk, but it was so interesting to see Moth transform during the walk. I’m going to walk the West Highland Way later this year so it was especially interesting to read those parts, I also loved the social commentary, since the book was happening during the pandemic which added another layer to the book.
Overall this serie was a bit different than the usual stuff I read, but as someone who loves hiking, it was a fun ride.

DNF at 100 pages. I enjoyed the Salt Path, didn’t really like the Wild Silence and am getting nowhere with Landlines. I find the author to have a quite a superior and judgemental tone towards anyone else who dares to exist in the countryside. It can be quite snide and I don’t find the author likeable enough outside of those comments to want to continue.
