I'll kick off with Mark Wallington's travel books.

500 mile walkies
Boogie up the river
Pennine walkies.

If you enjoy travel books with humour and pooches this trio is a great read.
Mark started out on his journeys to impress a girl, thought he needed company so borrowed his mates mutt Boogie, a true runt of the litter in every sense.
From the cornish costal path to the pennines and travels up the thames.

A Walk in the Woods is a good read too, probably in a similar way to Wallington's books.

Is that a hike or a planned ultra Abide? Either way sounds like fun.

Well I was looking at the Spine, but got cold feet after watching the movie and pulled out. So I started thinking about doing a self supported summer pennine traverse and then it's slowly morphed into the Pennine way 7-8 day pub crawltra since I wont have a lot of room for food and will need to scavenge. The idea's there but I need to iron out the details. Flight's booked to Manchester so its a go!

I saw the movie a few weeks back, haven't read too much Bryson but the Appalachian trail would look pretty epic on the bucket list.

Sounds like a plan Abide, good luck with the fine tuning and take lots of photos. One of every pub you stop at ;).
