The Pleasure of Walking | John Wilson | First Things

I don’t walk as much (or as quickly) as I have for most of my life. Still, Wendy and I take a walk every day, weather and other circumstances permitting. I treasure these times. But I also like to read about walking. Source: The Pleasure of Walking | John Wilson | First Things

33. Robert Twigger, Walking the Great North Line: From Stonehenge to Lindisfarne to (kind of) Discover the Mysteries of Our Ancient Past

I wish I could remember who recommended Robert Twigger’s Walking the Great North Line to me. I’d like to thank whoever it was publicly, for two reasons: I hadn’t heard of it until that person told me about it, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Twigger, the author of a dozen books, realized one day that … Continue reading 33.

30. Sarah Tolmie, All the Horses of Iceland

I’m not sure how All the Wild Horses of Iceland came into my possession—I suspect my friend Tanis MacDonald sent it to me in trade for some books about walking, because there’s a postcard from her tucked inside—but I’m glad it did, and that I read it near the end of my trip to England, … Continue reading 30.

29. Simon Armitage, Walking Away: Further Travels with a Troubadour on England’s South West Coast Path

I read Simon Armitage’s Walking Away: Further Travels with a Troubadour on England’s South West Coast Path while walking along Hadrian’s Wall. Okay, not while trudging along beside rivers and roads or climbing steep hills (the poor Roman soldiers who hauled stones and mortar up those heights), but on the flight to England, on trains, … Continue reading 29.

25. Tim Ingold, Being Alive: Essays on Movement, Knowledge and Description

Tim Ingold’s Being Alive: Essays on Movement, Knowledge and Description has been on my bookshelf for several years, one of those books I’ve bought with every intention of reading and hadn’t opened. In fact, I think I bought it because someone recalled the copy I had borrowed from the library, which was also sitting on … Continue reading 25.

The Walking Library

The Walking Library is an ongoing creative research project created by Misha Myers and Dee Heddon, that seeks to bring together walking and books – walking, reading, reflecting, writing… Inaugurated in 2012, each Walking Library edition we create responds to – is specific to – the context of its walking. Each walk changes the shape – the content and the actions – of the library. The Walking Library, bringing together walking and reading, follows in the footsteps of a long history.

Reading and Walking

The website Reading and Walking explores the interdisciplinary relationship between walking as a practice and the act of reading, examining how both activities engage with spatial and experiential dimensions. It features a range of essays, projects, and research that investigate walking as a method for reading environments, landscapes, and texts. This site presents walking not merely as physical movement, but as a cultural and intellectual practice that intersects with literary studies, geography, and art. The content highlights theoretical frameworks and case studies that link walking with various modes of interpretation, emphasizing how movement through space influences perception and understanding. It includes contributions from scholars and practitioners who address themes such as psychogeography, urban exploration, and the role of walking in narrative structures. The site serves as a resource for those interested in the cultural geographies of walking and its implications for reading both cityscapes and written works.

oversupinate

People who jog, run, and sprint have their share of problems that slow-moving people can barely comprehend. One is oversupination. As the OED defines it, to oversupinate is “To run or walk so that the weight falls upon the outer sides of the feet to a greater extent than is necessary, desirable, etc.” A 1990 Runner’s World article gets to the crux of the problem: “It’s hard to ascertain exactly what percentage of the running population oversupinates, but it’s a fraction of the people who think they do.” Credits to Mark Peters.
