I’m no Shakespeare: Walking the South West Coast Path
£1.99
The unlikely but perfectly true story of how a nosey menopausal linguist threw away her pills, pulled on a backpack, and accidentally wrote a best seller.
“It’s beautiful. Touching, honest, heartfelt and zigzags effortlessly from poignancy, reflection to humour in a sentence.”
“Really lively writing … brilliant stuff … love the characters coming to life and your wry sense of humour!”
For 630 miles she walked, with her life on her back, her heart on her sleeve, and a wickedly sharpened pencil behind her ear.

Captures the essence of the South West Coast Path walk and of the walkers.
How she did it in the time taken when she talked to so many people…. and eat so many cooked breakfasts…. and cream teas…..

Fantastically written book about an adventure across Englands Southwest Coast path. Funny, interesting and inspiring. 5 stars

I loved the witty, anecdotal style of this memoir. Cheryl is clearly a little bit bonkers, which makes her utterly relatable and real. I loved the sense of sharing the authors magical experiences of walking the path, including the people she met and stories she gathered. This book has inspired me to do more solo camping and walking.

Not so much about the SWCP geography, and more about the impact The Path and the people she met had on Cheryl.

A book by my amazing step-sister. She has always liked languages but who knew what other skills and courage she has.
630 miles around the coast of Devon and Cornwall. Not a visitors guide, but her daily fight with the elements. Sometimes wild camping and eating berries, othertimes “luxurious” hostels and full Cornish.
If you want some seaside pubs or cafes to visit on your next trip to the southwest, you can find some suggestions in here. Tried and tested.
