In February 2019, award-winning writer Alex Roddie left his online life behind when he set out to walk 300 miles through the Scottish Highlands, seeking solitude and answers. In leaving the chaos of the internet behind for a month, he hoped to learn how it was truly affecting him - or if he should look elsewhere for the causes of his anxiety.

The Farthest Shore is the story of Alex’s solo trek along the remote Cape Wrath Trail. As he journeyed through a vanishing winter, Alex found answers to his questions, learnt the nature of true silence, and discovered frightening evidence of the threats faced by Scotland’s wild mountain landscape.

An informative and well written account of a long distance trek in the Northern Scottish winter. Shot through with reflection on our modern preoccupation with social media. I would have welcomed more rich descriptions of scenery and nature and less on walking gear.

Long distance Scottish digital detox.

I really didn't want this book to end. A beautifully balanced narrative on journey, emotion and technology. Convincing narration too.

Excellent on several levels

A most enjoyable book. It felt like you trod every step with Alex. You can feel the warmth and the chill, the wind and the rain, the pleasure and the pain.

Just two things that could have formed the afterword:

Greg was right about the pandemic, and what happened to Sky?

Fantastic Trip, Beautifully Read

This is definitely the best audio book I bought and heard this year. There are two main points or messages in this, which I could relate to within the first couple of chapters. The first, is about being disconnected from the various Internet sights and reconnecting with ourselves; getting to really know our inner person.

The second, is about the value of getting away from the usual hum-drum lives we live (even briefly), to meet other people in the flesh, instead of anonymously; and again via the various Internet Social media networks.

In my own case, I stopped watching live TV, and the dubious influences and nonsense. And I haven't missed it after about 25-30 years.
And I have always enjoyed the benefits of getting away to know myself better; and meeting other people.
The journey described here, does that well.
I certainly recommend this. Thanks- Jack.
