By Sam Heughan
Genre:-Memoir/Non Fiction
Pages:-304
Publisher:-Radar/Octopus Books
Blurb:-'Waypoints is a memoir with a difference! I wanted to tell the stories and share the experiences that have shaped me, but to do that I needed to challenge myself and spend some time in my own company, away from the distractions of everyday life. And for me there's no better place to reflect that in the wild Scottish Highlands.'
In this Journey of self-discovery, Sam Heughan sets out along the West Highland Way to explore his heritage and reflect on the personal waypoints that define him. The result is a love letter to the wild Scottish landscape that means so much to Sam, and a charming, funny, wise and searching insight to the world through his eyes.
The walk itself is the backdrop for this narrative, which tells the story of Sam's life while exploring his outlook, values and interests. Sam is a figure of fascinating contrasts, a Hollywood star with deep roots in rural Scotland, he's both outgoing and content in his own company. He has strong connections with his fans while recognising the fragility and value of anonymity, and in My Peak Challenge he has created a network that brings people together as they chase individual goals. In his new book, while charting a path through a stunning wilderness, Sam maps out the moments that shaped his views on dreams and ambition, family, friendships, love and life.
Waypoints is a deeply personal journey that reveals as much to Sam about himself as it does to his readers

My Review:-Sam Heughan has just finished filming 'Outlander' and looking forward in going home to relax for a week, after a few busy months. It's the day after Sam came home and Sam heads to the store for everything he will need to do Scotland's rugged 96-mile West Highland Way, and after a bit of help he has everything he needs to set off the next day, he only had 6 days to do the walk and be back home. It wasn't going to be easy as it was Scotland and winter 2021, but it was going to be something that will stick with him for along time. During this walk, Sam had set 20 miles a day, he recorded hundreds of voice notes that has allowed him to write this book. During his journey he managed to explore some historical sites, Rob Roy's Cave to Steall Waterfall (the second highest in Scotland), the landscape and descriptions make it easy to picture it. Sam talks about other topics in the book as well, meeting his dad to body image. You need to read Sam's story to understand just how beautiful as well as challenging his journey has been.
