The joy of familiar walks

I love exploring and adventuring, the buzz of going somewhere new and seeing things for the first time is one of my main drivers to travel and find lesser known trails to walk on but, the reality for me at least, is this isn’t something I can do all the time. Living a peripatetic life

Hiking in Hokkaido

I have to admit that when I first thought about visiting Japan I had very little idea that there was so much fantastic hiking. My mind was filled with Bladerunner-esque visions of Tokyo or images of demure Geisha treading the lantern lit streets of Kyoto. Thalia and I however ended up watching a programme with

Walking The Avon Valley Path

It’s always great to have the opportunity to explore an area that you are unfamiliar with, there’s the sense of adventure and the excitement of learning something new.

Walking the Anglesey Coastal Path

Leg three of the Land of My Fathers project was the Anglesey Coastal Path, a long distance path in it’s own right that covers 130 miles of mostly coastal walking. I have to confess to having visited Anglesey very rarely in spite of it’s proximity to Manchester with my visits being restricted to a few
