Books on Walking in General

There are still a number of very good books written by pilgrims about their journeys on any of the many Caminos. However, I was also fascinated by stories of adventures on other walks and I was intrigued by people passionate about simply walking. Here is a list of books I have read while preparing for my second Camino..

  1. The Salt Path – Raynor Winn – (274 pages) – 2018
  2. Wanderers – A History of Women Walking – Kerri Andrews – (263 pages) – 2020
  3. The Reason You Walk – Wab Kinew – (288 pages) – 2015
