Overview

Join the Glasgow Young Walkers for our next book club night! Get to know current/new members, have a fun social walk and discuss what you liked (or didn't like) about the current month's book selection.

This month's book will be 'A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail' by Bill Bryson.

As per Goodreads:
'The Appalachian Trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America—majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you’ll find... A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).'

We'll begin and end in George Square, with the option to grab a snack and/or a beverage after our walk
