Summary

My guest today is Annmarie Noonan. Annmarie wrote to me recently to tell me about her passion for hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Indeed, it was the words from her journal and her story of her own four-year section hike of the trail that convinced me she'd be an excellent guest.

When we spoke, the enthusiasm was infectious and I think you'll enjoy our conversation.

Also this week, one of the last members of our Class of 2022. I intended to get Dave Burge in December but, as these things go, I kind of dropped the ball. Picking it up now, we caught up with Dave well into his Appalachian Trail hike.

0:00.0	You are listening to the Hiking Radio Network, where we talk the walk with shows by hikers
0:05.3	about hikers for everybody. Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail, the ultimate midlife crisis, joins Stephen his guests every week as he staggers from Georgia to Maine.
0:33.5	Hi guys, good to be back with you again. You're listening to Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail, the ultimate mid-life crisis, and I am Mighty Blue, bringing you the stories of hikers mainly on the Appalachian Trail, though I'm never worried about going to other trails as long as we get a good conversation to share with you. Today, we're presenting a new format for the next few months. As many of you know, I'm off to the UK and
0:54.8	Ireland in March. Then I'm going to be hiking in Scotland after that. In all, I'll be away five
0:59.5	weeks and to be honest, I did consider having a bit of a sabbatical from the show while I was
1:04.8	away. But then I came up with this. My latest book reading has come to an end. Most of my class of
1:11.2	2022 are planning to get out on the trail. Indeed, some of them are already out there.
1:15.7	So I'm going to front load episodes for when I'm away by having a normal main interview,
1:20.8	no book reading. Then in the last week before I head overseas, I'll be recording a whole
1:26.0	bunch of latest news from the class of 2022,
1:29.3	letting you all know when they're recorded
1:30.9	and adding one of those latest news updates from our class
1:34.2	in each of those episodes that come out when I'm on why.
1:37.4	In that way, we'll do a big cash-up on my return,
1:40.5	then I'll start reading a new book.
1:43.1	I'm not sure if that's clear or not.
1:46.2	Could it took me a long time to write it. But well, we're all going to work it out together,
1:50.8	won't we? So this week's guest is Anne-Marie Noonan. Amory wrote to me wanting to share a story
1:57.3	about through-hiking the Appanacian Trail over four years. I loved the email and invited Anne-Marie on the show.
2:03.7	She'll be on in a moment.
2:05.7	After Anne-Marie, our latest and second from last,
2:08.4	member of the Class of 2020, Dave Burge,
