Welcome
Welcome to the home page for At the Speed of Foot, Mark Fleming’s account of hiking more than 2,400 miles on the famed Appalachian Trail. In this memoir, Mark describes the look and feel of a of a trail he followed for six months in 2002 from Georgia to Maine and his ten-week return to the trail three years later. An avid hiker, Mark came to know the trail in the Blue Ridge Mountains near his home in Virginia and the idea of hiking the entire distance—to “thru-hike” the Appalachian Trail—grew from that introduction. Mark’s spare prose and lyric descriptions put the reader on the trail with him, to share the hardship and joy of an incredible journey.
