2023- A year in review

Well, here we are at the end of another year and what a cracker it’s been here at Come walk with me UK. We have spent 2023 exploring walks across the world, leading D of E groups, trekking the long distance trails of Scotland and adventuring in new destinations. We couldn’t have done it without

Nepalese Adventure Week

The last overseas trip I did before Covid 19 struck was to Nepal and over the years it has become firmly established as one of my favourite places in the world, so when Camps International offered the opportunity to return in February this year it was too good a chance to turn down. Nepal is

Kenya 2022 with Camps International

I am sat perched on a rock under a star spangled African sky, the air is cool now the sun has dropped behind the distant range of hills separated by an acacia studded red earth plain. I can see the flickering tongues of flame of the campfire and somewhere in the distance I can hear

Nepal with Camps International and DBS JP

I first went to Nepal a couple of years ago and I instantly fell in love with both the beauty of the country and the kindness of the people, it now ranks alongside New Zealand as my favourite place to visit so I was delighted when Camps International offered me the opportunity to visit again

Borneo 2019

Borneo, the very name has an air of exoticism, a sense of the wild and unexplored. When I was a kid and looking even more unkempt than usual my Dad used to describe me as looking like “the wild man of Borneo” and it is a place of wild, remote valleys, unique wildlife and, sadly,

Kenya with DBS JP and Camps International

Kenya is a truly wonderful country to visit. It’s a beautiful country of red earth and green plants, of friendly, exuberant people and stunning wildlife and we have been lucky enough to visit the excellent Camp Tsavo on three occasions now. Whilst visits one and two were fantastic, it really was a case of third

Northern Vietnam with Camps International and ASD

There is a certain exoticism inherent in the place names of South East Asia and whilst I have travelled there quite extensively for both work and pleasure I had never had the opportunity to visit the North of Vietnam. I spent the Christmas period of 2017 in Cambodia and then exploring the Mekong Delta and

Tanzania with Blyth Academy and Camps International

Over the last couple of years I have been very lucky to visit East Africa on a number of occasions and it is a place that definitely captivates and interests me. My first trip with Camps International was to Uganda in 2015, it was very meaningful for me, aside from the project work we did
