Customer Reviews

a brilliant read of life on the Applachian Trail!

Forget Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods".... (where you end up rooting for the bears) this book is written by a "real" outdoorsy person and provides a highly detailed description of life on the AT. The walk is covered in sections - each describing not on the scenery and climate - but also the highs an dlows experienced during the walk. Finally - someone who acknowledges that long walks are not always fun - and that everyone has their own fair share of physical and emptional barriers to overcome.The deeply moving insights into Brampton's life and his reasons for being on the trail seems more like sharing the trail with a friend than reading a book.An excellent outdoorsy book written for a true outdoorsy audience! Well done!!
