This was ok, similar to the Salt Path, but I feel that was a stronger read. This one Moth is getting sick again, the forced isolation and stagnation of covid has taken a toll on his health. They are currently living on an orchard in Cornwall where they are farming using permaculture techniques. They decide to walk the Cape Wrath trail, even though Moth is really very bad at the start, falling over, unable to read maps, just not looking good. But they manage to get through the walk, which was interesting because a lot of the places are near the North Coast 500 which I did recently. Then after the Cape Wrath trail they do the West Highland way and then just keep going all the way back to Cornwall. It's an impressive achievement, and Moth is certainly much better by the end. But it does feel like this was a book that was also about accepting his mortality.
