Amazon.co.uk Review
Bill Bryson has made a living out of travelling and then writing about it. In The Lost Continent he re-created the road trips of his childhood; in Neither Here nor There he retraced the route he followed as a young backpacker traversing Europe. When this American transplant to Britain decided to return home, he made a farewell walking tour of the British countryside and produced Notes from a Small Island. Once back on American soil and safely settled in New Hampshire, Bryson once again hears the siren call of the open road--only this time it's a trail. The Appalachian Trail, to be exact. In A Walk in the Woods Bill Bryson tackles what is, for him, an entirely new subject: the American wilderness. Accompanied only by his old college friend Stephen Katz, Bryson starts out one March morning in north Georgia, intending to walk the entire 2,100 miles to the trail's end atop Maine's Mount Katahdin.

Ironically I am NOT an avid book reader so I found it funny that I would find a Bill Bryson book .
Just about the ONLY author I've ever read more than one book from !!!
Bill entertained me , as usual , although I do get a bit bored when he starts rambling on his STATS ...
I found this book back in February 2009 and now that I'm finished will release it in the next couple of days
probably on the stone where I found it
