End to End, book by Steve Blease

Yesterday I finished Steve Blease's book, End to End, which records the walk he made from Land's End to John O'Groats in 2006 (review here). I was encouraged to read that Steve is not a lifelong walker and it seems that he managed the walk without too much difficulty. Given that his 1100 miles are about double what I plan to tackle and that he did it in 75 days, I'm heartened. I appreciated his noting of the ales he sampled (something that I'm looking forward to) and the kindness of people he encountered en route is encouraging.
