Books about walking

[SalGoodwoman]

Hi, i can't remember the title, or find the thread! But there was a thread about books about walking (especially around the UK), could anyone give me some recommendations please?

Amazon recommends The Salt Path but I think posters talked about another book too. Thank you.

I think this is the thread - https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/what_were_reading/5024331-a-book-about-living-or-travelling-somewhere-wild-camping-settling-somewhere-new?page=5

I've just finished 'You are here' by David Nichols. Most of the book is spent with the main characters doing Wainwright's coast to coast.

Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods

I recently read Isabella Bird's book about travelling alone through the Rocky Mountains. She also travelled in China, Korea, Hawaii - haven't read these yet, but this has reminded me to look out for them!
She was a Victorian adventurer and her writing style is quite light and informative. Many of her books are available free on Project Gutenberg.

That's a great thread NannyR, I've bookmarked it now. Currently reading The Salt Path but not sure if I'm enjoying it for many of the reasons cited on the thread. I liked Simon Armitage's books about walking and his poetry readings. Much more likeable I thought.

My wife LOVES books about walking, so I've just asked her- she says anything by Robert MacFarlane, and Wanderers by Kerri Andrews.

Tracks by Robyn Davidson is supposed to be very good as well- I loved the film.

Thanks for the link to that thread, and other suggestions here!

Try Salt Path; it's a lovely book

Nightwalking by John Lewis-Stemple

Beautifully written and made me long to be a man free to walk alone but for my dog in the deepest of nights.
