If you read A Walk in the Woods you will want to hike the Appalachain Trail, and that desire (which is kind of ridiculous given the shape I'm in) will stick with you for years. I'm just saying.

Okay, maybe that was just me. But.

no, it did it to me too. which is also ridiculous.

Definitely not just you. I will do it one day! Maybe.

I was actually recommended the book because I'd always wanted to walk the Appalachian Trail. Still do, but now I live on the wrong continent. Doh.

You could Walk Across England!! Or the Camino de Santiago!

I could! Thing is, the Appalachian Trail goal is one that I made when I was, like, 12. It's hard to shake that. Plus, I've already done the trail's hardest horizontal mile so anything else should be a piece of cake!

Hee, clearly you are not alone! (And I think my Dad said something similar when he read it!)
