Description

Sol, the self-styled 'ornamental hermit', is the warden of Black Sail Hut, a remote youth hostel in the Cumbrian Lake District. He spends his days cooking, wood-cutting, fell-running, philosophising, drinking, day-dreaming, ranting and reminiscing. This book tells the story of a season living and working at Black Sail, where Sol shares his experiences and insights. Sol's life is one of simplicity and freedom, but also of intense physical and mental activity. He relates the story of a year spent in this special place, where he finds joy and meaning in the simple things. With humour and humility, Sol recounts the ups and downs of his time at Black Sail Hut. Through Sol's story, we gain a glimpse into the beauty and tranquility of the Lake District, as well as the challenges and rewards of living off the land. This is a book about the human spirit, and the power of nature to inspire and transform us.
