Since the times of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, Americans have headed off to Europe on odysseys of self-improvement. Inspired by them, Bill Walker ("Skywalker") decided to undertake a 500-mile trek on El Camino de Santiago, which stretches from the Pyrenees in southern France to Santiago in Northwest Spain. Better yet, he did it in the "Holy Year" of 2010, when 200,000 pilgrims were struggling on foot to make it to the great Gothic Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. The Camino is supposed to be a religious-spiritual pilgrimage. At Walker's side is his 18-year-old nephew, Gavin. The sharp banter between the two of them is reminiscent of the dialogue between Bill Bryson and Katz in A Walk in the Woods. Midwest Book Review calls The Best Way "a strong pick for those considering the journey themselves."

Since the times of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, Americans have headed off to Europe on odysseys of self-improvement. But until recently, Americans have not chosen 'the best way'-El Camino de Santiago. Bill Walker ("Skywalker") decided to undertake this 500 mile pilgrimage, stretching from the Pyrenees in southern France to the mystical Galician province in Northwest Spain. Better yet, he did it in the 'Holy Year' of 2010. Fully 200,000 pilgrims were struggling on foot to make it to the Great Gothic Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. The Camino is supposed to be a religious-spiritual pilgrimage. But some European pilgrims told Walker it was really the "The European Divorcee Trail." At Walker's side was his 18 year-old nephew, Gavin, who thrives with his special brand of Fonzie-like charm. The towel-snapping banter between the two of them is reminiscent of the frat-boy dialogue between Bill Bryson and Katz. Better yet, the two of them learn just how delightful the French really can be (except, of course, when they're being impossible), why the Germans are almost all model pilgrims, and the tragi-glorious roots of the Spanish national character.

The Camino―or The Way―to Santiago is a five-hundred-mile, thirty-three-day walk across Spain's extreme conditions to reach the beloved Cathedral of Santiago. Ron “Willie” Williams walked The Way two and a half times, a total of twelve hundred miles. Why? It is less about what he gains, and more about what he loses along The Way―old behaviors, unforgiveness, and a tendency to play God. Journey with Willie through the chapters of Lost and Found Along The Way, as he sheds these tendencies, and in doing so finds a renewed, richer, and deeper faith. The first few chapters are narrative historical fiction portraying James in Acts 12:2 facing his execution along with supposed reactions from his loved ones. At the end of this narrative, we transition back to nonfiction with the discovery of James' gravesite some eight hundred years after his martyrdom. Willie then explains how the Camino pilgrimages began along the Camino, also known as, The Way. No other nonfiction book offers such a unique back story of Saint James and the Camino. The following chapters, and the bulk of the book, follow Willie's own Camino journeys, present vivid descriptions of the geography on the trail and historical background provide readers with a nearly firsthand experience of The Camino de Santiago. True and dramatic faith walk stories demonstrate God's hand in people's lives and guide readers to dig deeper into their own spiritual life and get outside their comfort zone. The final chapter of Lost and Found Along The Way instructs fellow sojourners in how to follow Willie's example to strengthen their own faith and share it with those who have lost their own faith―no hiking boots required.

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) is the perfect place for an average person to do something extraordinary. Bill Walker ("Skywalker"), who stands 6' 11", might seem like anything but average. Yet in an honest, self-deprecating tone, he lays bare all his considerable weaknesses and fears while hiking the PCT. Among these are crushing weight loss and fatigue, along with a fear of getting lost or a dangerous encounter with bears. Nonetheless, he determined to hike the PCT, which at 2,663 miles runs all the way from Mexico to Canada. The PCT is known for its stunning beauty. It has a diversity of geography unequaled by any footpath in the world. Haunting and beckoning the PCT hiker are the implacable desert, the towering majesty of the High Sierra, and the ruggedly bleak, northern Cascade range. Indeed, the PCT hiker faces even greater extremes of terrain and climate than on the famed Appalachian Trail. Along the way, Walker meets a diverse cast of hikers from all walks of American life.

Why would a middle-aged businessman, who had never even spent a single night outdoors, attempt to hike the entire 2,180 mile Appalachian Trail? Bill Walker, a former commodities trader in Chicago and London, and an avid 'streetwalker', had developed a virtual obsession to thru-hike the AT, which runs for fourteen states from Georgia to Maine. In the early spring of 2005 he set off, determined to hike this Georgia-to-northern Maine wilderness trail before the arrival of winter. Immediately, he realized he had plunged into a whole new world. The AT has some ferociously difficult terrain, winding through dramatically diverse geography, and covers the very highest peaks in the East. Walker's near 7-foot height earned him the trail name, Skywalker, and drew raves from fellow hikers. But that same height made him more vulnerable to weight loss, cold weather, and crushing fatigue. An elemental fear of bears, snakes, and getting lost also loomed large. The journey often seemed like a see-saw battle between his determination vs. his blunders. No other country has a footpath even remotely as popular as the Appalachian Trail. Up to 4,000,000 people hike on the AT during any given year. Mortals are compelled--or perhaps cursed--to relive their lifetime adventure. This is Bill Walker's (Skywalker's) unforgettable version, leavened with ruthlessly self-deprecating humor. His fondest hope is to inspire other rookies and novices, to give the Appalachian Trail a try as well.

Why would a middle-aged businessman, who had never spent a single night outdoors, attempt to hike the entire Appalachian Trail in one year? Bill Walker ("Skywalker"), a former commodities trader in Chicago and London and an avid walker, developed an obsession to thru-hike all 2,175 miles of the AT. In the spring of 2005, he set off, determined to hike the trail before the arrival of winter. Immediately, he realized he had plunged into a whole new world. Jeff Minnick of the Smoky Mountain Book Review writes, "Skywalker's humor, its delight in human foibles, and its observations about human nature should appeal to a broad audience."

What is the best way for the average person to experience the world's greatest mountain range--the Himalayas? Fortunately, there is now a good answer. The Annapurna Circuit in Nepal is the most popular footpath in Asia. Its genius lies in its design. Trekkers wind their way around and along some of the world's greatest peaks, ultimately getting near 18,000 feet, without ever having to do any 'technical climbing'. This Circuit is widely considered one of the world's great treks, and mortals from all around the world are coming to Nepal for the unique chance to 'get high'. Bill Walker ('Skywalker') struggled his way through the Annapurna Circuit in 2012. He has written this entertaining tale of his journey in this land of Sherpas, cold, altitude, and rushing water.

Descrizione del libro: Cosa ti piace di più quando leggi di avventure: descrizioni del terreno, della cultura, delle sfide, della crescita personale, delle interazioni tra altri avventurieri? Donne sulla Via: abbracciando il Cammino combina con successo tutti questi elementi in un racconto sincero e personale del pellegrinaggio lungo il Cammino di Santiago di cinquecentocinquanta chilometri di Jane V. Blanchard, che ha attraversato i Pirenei partendo da St-Jean-Pied-de-Port in Francia fino ad arrivare a Roncisvalle in Spagna, e poi ha continuato verso ovest attraverso la Spagna settentrionale fino a Santiago di Compostela. Per oltre un millennio, i cristiani hanno fatto questo pellegrinaggio alla cattedrale di Santiago, dove sono sepolti i resti dell’apostolo San Giacomo. Oggi, questo viaggio è noto come un itinerario culturale europeo che attira persone da tutto il mondo. Nel 2011, più di 183.000 persone hanno completato il pellegrinaggio; il 44% di questi pellegrini erano donne. Anche se Donne sulla Via parla del viaggio di Jane sul Cammino di Santiago (noto anche come la “Via”) e delle discussioni con le donne incontrate durante il pellegrinaggio, questo non è un libro per “ragazze”. Si tratta di abbracciare il Cammino, i cambiamenti personali, la bellezza e il fascino del più popolare tra tutti i pellegrinaggi a Santiago di Compostela, il Camino Francés. - Scopri perché persone da tutto il mondo percorrono il Cammino. - Impara come prepararti per il Cammino, i riti quotidiani per il percorso a lunga distanza e il cameratismo condiviso tra questi pellegrini moderni. - Visualizza la bellezza del nord della Spagna attraverso le vivide descrizioni di Jane. - Comprendi perché così tante persone abbracciano il Cammino. “Uno sguardo articolato, ben osservato e ponderato per percorrere il Cammino”. ~ Adam Nathan “Mi sentivo come se fossi anch'io una pellegrina mentre visualizzavo i

"Isabella cursed her father for sending her on this quest, but it was her only chance at freedom."Sent by her father to locate the Knights Templar's greatest treasure--and save her kingdom from ruin--Princess Isabella of France finds one of seven secret doors that unlocks the Templars' mysterious treasure. With this discovery, she expects the mission to be easy. But when she is ambushed on the Camino de Santiago, Isabella is not only forced to seek refuge with her father's enemies, but she's unexpectedly reunited with her one true love, Etienne. Shocked that the woman who'd betrayed him so long ago is now before him, Etienne is forced to put the past aside and do his duty as a Templar to help a pilgrim in need. It's not long before the past catches up to them. Now they must both decide: to love again, or to remain loyal? Etienne is tied to his vow as a Templar, and Isabella to the will of her father. As Isabella and her unlikely companions journey across Spain, they unlock the Templars' secret codes, face immortal shadows, and discover the wisdom of the Camino de Santiago. Isabella's quest leads her to love, friendship, and self-discovery--but if she's not careful, it could also lead to the destruction of the world. On April 8, 2017, in the small town of Castrojeriz, I was first told about a secret code of the Knights Templar on the Camino de Santiago. This code inspired me to write The Way: Through a Field of Stars. Since that day, I have walked more than a thousand miles across Spain doing research for this book series. Even though this novel is a work of fiction set in the thirteen hundreds, you can still visit all of the towns, cathedrals, and castles in the story. Also, all of the secret codes in the novel are based on symbols, ruins, and other things I saw on my own Camino. If you take a pilgrimage yourself, and know where to look, you can still see all these fascinating markings today.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The classic chronicle of a “terribly misguided and terribly funny” (The Washington Post) hike of the Appalachian Trail, from the author of A Short History of Nearly Everything and The Body “The best way of escaping into nature.”—The New York Times Back in America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes—and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill Bryson, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings. For a start there’s the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. But A Walk in the Woods is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson’s acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America’s last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods is a modern classic of travel literature. NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
