A backdrop of glorious south coast scenery, as experienced through that most modish of contemporary activities: hiking.No wonder film-makers were champing at the bit to make a movie out of The Salt Path, the memoir by Raynor Winn published in 2018 – and so one duly emerged, starring Gillian Anderson as Winn and Jason Isaacs as her husband Moth, who was diagnosed with the incurable condition corticobasal degeneration (CBD).
