WANDERLUST - Why do people walk?

This is a serious listen - "Wanderlust, A History of Walking" by Rebecca Solnit - first published in UK by Verso (imprint of New Left Books) 2001. The reading starts in a bed in Cork Ireland - a very sleepy Paul O'Mahony struggles to start his walk through the introduction to a 300 page paperback book. "I know nothing about Rebecca Solnit. I've done no research - it was the title & subtitle that hooked me" - says Paul. "I have no idea how much of it I'll read - or how many comments I'll make - as I walk across & down through the pages. "Maybe I'll be educated or disinterested, delighted or distracted, but I'm pretty sure I'll be curious & have mixed feelings."
