Friends who used to meet him at the pub are now hiking and skiing every weekend, and when they do show up, all they talk about is feeling at one with nature (without a hint of irony). When Are realizes he's the only person who hasn't posted a selfie on a mountain, he starts to wonder: does he have it all wrong?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo find out, Are buys some ridiculously expensive gear and heads into the woods. The result of his sardonic trek is at once a smart and funny take-down of outdoors culture, and a reluctant surrender to nature's undeniable pull.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn adventure, a comedy, and a tragedy, The Hiking Book from Hell is destined to become a nature writing (and nature hating) classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 446g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 227 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781771645850\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Are Kalvo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44098813952250,"sku":"9781771645850","price":10.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1654859149372_book.jpg?v=1655096110","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-hiking-book-from-hell-my-reluctant-attempt-to-learn-to-love-nature-9781771645850","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
