Three books we would pack for a long walk.
The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd: a short, close account of walking in Scotland's Cairngorms, written in the 1940s and first published in 1977.
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson (1998): a funny account of an attempt on the Appalachian Trail.
Wild by Cheryl Strayed (2012): a memoir of a long solo walk on the Pacific Crest Trail.
