Are there any films similar to The Salt Path that aren't a barrel of lies?

[Teizzz]

I really enjoyed The Salt Path at the cinema. I think I enjoyed the camping and walking aspect of it and the gorgeous scenery more than the storyline, but as this has been tarnished with the absolute bulllshit lies of the people the true story was about, I'm not about to watch it again. It's tarnished it for me. Is there anything similar I might enjoy? Thanks.

This is quite good, lots of scenery

Try Wild about Cheryl Strayed's hike. And Trek about the girl who trained wild camels and took them across Australia. And lots of true Camino films

Wild with Reese Witherspoon probably the obvious choice.

There's also A Walk in the Woods, which I've not seen the film of - but love the book by Bill Bryson. Different vibe though, more of a comedy (at least the book is).

Downhill (2014) is about a group of friends doing a similar walk in the North. It's fiction though if that matters.

This Way, My Way about a man who walks the Camino de Santiago.

A walk in the woods
Wild
The Outrun (not so much camping but a great film and scenery)
Into the wild

Thank you so much. I'll be busy watching these with snacks at the weekend.

I love Timothy Spall, @AnnaPhylax !

I don't know if I'll ever believe any of these sorts of tales again - have never gotten over John Steinbeck's son revealing that Travels with Charley: In Search of America was largely a work of fiction!

Another vote for The Outrun

I enjoyed "the unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry" it's fiction, so not a pack of lies

Edie is beautiful if you would like some wild Scottish scenery. It's one of my favourite films.

Into the Wild.

Yes into the wild true to his diaries

Into the Wild (film) - Wikipedia share.google/OIvweYCBmNdaerDC6

‘The way’ - it’s about a man walking the Camino. It’s got Martin Sheen in it- very gentle thoughtful film

I think it’s called ‘The Way’ and stars Martin Sheen.

I enjoyed it and it’s funny in parts too. Very scenic!

Good idea for a thread!
I didn't know A Walk in the Woods had been made into a film

GA must be feeling quite embarrassed right now I reckon!

The Ballad of Wallis Island has loads of coastal scenery and is amusing.

Wild based on the book by Cheryl Strayed is good (the book's even better). Nomadland is pretty good too. The Outrun is set in the Scottish islands and is fab and thought provoking, about overcoming addiction through nature.

No, 'The Way' is a different film. 'The Way, My Way' is a 2024 film. Well worth a watch.

Another vote for Wild - fantastic film and book.

Not quite the same but try the detectorists tv series , its a good few years old but a lovely watch with the English countryside x

Can recommend most of these. The Last Bus is gorgeous. And Into The Wild is heart breaking.

This is great https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1441912/

Dream Horse is a lovely film, based on a true story

Another vote for Wild here too.

Also consider:
Nomadland
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Captain Fantastic

(camping in all of them. lovely scenery, and you'll need a box tissues)
