If anything, A walk in the Woods motivated people to get out and hike. I've heard people say they started hiking after reading it, including several in the cafe, but I've never heard anyone say they thru hiked after reading it.
Why would it inspire them to thru hike. Bryson did not come anywhere close to doing a thru.
Thats like saying being a Ted Williams fan couldn't inspire someone to play baseball because he never won the World Series....
Ted Williams is the greatest hitter who ever lived, and a mighty good fighter pilot in WW II and Korea too. Bryson is good, but not near the Splendid Splinter level.
The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.
