Waypoints

 

I enjoyed Sam's book about taking a spontaneous journey along the West Highland Way, a 96 mile route he decided to walk during a week off from work. 

He started out determined to camp outside each night and walk a certain number of miles in a day, but after a rough two first days, he makes the decision to take it a bit easier. Stop and smell the roses (or mushrooms), as it were. After all, the whole point was to get back to nature, to recharge, not to push himself to the point of exhaustion. Once he made that decision, he enjoyed the rest of his walk. In between recounting his walk, he talked about his upbringing and acting career. He seems to have a very upbeat attitude and his grateful for all he has, which was nice to read.
