Walking with Plato

If one keeps on walking, everything will be alright. So said Danish writer S ren Kierkegaard, and so thought philosophy buff Gary Hayden as he set off on Britain s most challenging trek: to walk from John O Groats to Land s End. But it wasn t all quaint country lanes, picture-postcard villages and cosy bed and breakfasts.
In this humorous, inspiring and delightfully British tale, Gary finds solitude and weary limbs bring him closer to the wisdom of the world s greatest thinkers. Recalling Rousseau s reverie, Bertrand Russell s misery, Plato s love of beauty and Epicurus joy in simplicity, Walking with Plato offers a breath of fresh, country air and clarity for anyone craving an escape from the humdrum of everyday life.
