The Walkers: The real Salt Path

Raynor Winn's memoir The Salt Path was a bestseller and literary phenomenon with millions of people captivated by this true story of financial ruin, terminal illness, and healing through nature. Raynor Winn has since published two more books and The Salt Path has been adapted for the big screen, starring Jason Isaacs and Gillian Anderson. At its heart it is a simple tale, of a couple embarking on a 630 mile trek in the face of stark adversity. When faced with nothing, they chose to walk. Then Chloe Hadjimatheou received a tip-off that the memoir may not be the "unflinchingly honest" account it claimed to be. And it led her to ask: how far can you bend the truth before it begins to break?
