“The real Salt Path: how a blockbuster book and film were spun from lies, deceit and desperation:
Penniless and homeless, the Winns found fame and fortune with the story of their 630-mile walk
to salvation. … [T]he truth behind it is very different”
—The Observer

The Salt Path was restorative for Winn.
Her royalties, it is alleged, repaid
Embezzled funds. Yet nature’s-medicine
(Perambulations Moth and Raynor made
In Cornwall on its cliffs), according to
New claims, was too restorative to be
Considered true: in many medics’ view,
He’s been too well too long for CBD.
Observer scoops don’t often tell a lie.
Fresh readings bring up doubts you can’t ignore
So easily, yet millions passed them by …
At picnics on the beach, with Salt Path for
Light reading, why did no one spot a fault?
They probably forgot their pinch of salt!
