Mean Feat: A 3,000 Mile Walk Through Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, and Italy

by John Waite

When John Waite set out on his 3000 mile journey through Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland and Italy, he set himself no time limit. That the walk would test him to his physical and mental limits, he was aware, and this proved to be so as he struggled under the fierce heat of the exposed Spanish Plains, gasped for breath up the icy mountain passes of Switzerland, and had to cope with long periods of being on his own. This book chronicles this exciting journey.

The best hiking book I've read this year, probably ever in fact. The book is out of print but not hard to find via Ebay or Amazon, highly recommended.
