The Famous Torres del paine Occasionally I like to include other world walks to give you a perspective. So here’s our article on the famous Patagonian walk – the “W”. We were at Refugio Chileno in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile, Patagonia. The weather looked great. Mike, Matt and Liz got up early […]
Robin Hood’s Bay – destination for Coast to Coast Walkers
Final Destination for the Coast to Coast Walk: We woke to a cold morning. This was to be our final day of walking. We enjoyed our last English breakfast, ate the boiled eggs with lots of tasty homemade wholemeal bread, a variety of local jams, and finished with hot tea. Outside the weather didn’t look […]
Offa’s Dyke – walking on the Dyke (760AD) to Discoed
We had been walking for half the day and were enjoying the Welsh countryside enormously. Next was Burfa Bank Forestry Plantations and of course, another hill to climb. I had the feeling that we were out in the middle of nowhere, with the last farms far behind us. I guess it was the accumulation of […]
London: Step by Step – Old Curiosity Shop
Walking around an ancient capital city like London is a pleasure. As well as enjoying the sights, smells and sounds, you still have to have your wits about you. And be ready to take in the enormous amount of history around you. The weather was perfect for walking. No rain and intermittent sunshine. I […]
The oldest Hotel in Scotland – and it’s on the West Highland Way
Bridge of Orchy- Kings House Hotel (21.5 km) – Glencoe, Argyll We were staying at a B&B near the village of Bridge of Orchy. The overnight rain had brought about an overcast morning. It was time to pay for dinner and order lunch. Dinner turned out to be £10 each instead of £9 and a […]
Offa’s Dyke – Gladestry –Kington with the highest golf course in Britain
Overnighted at at B&B at Gladestry on the historic Anglo-Welsh border. A good breakfast in the dining room and an extra slice of cake for good measure. It was going to be a long walk today. A blustery wind forecast for today. We followed the road down to Gladestry and walked through the quiet village. […]
Via Francigena – Siena and Saint Catherine
We had happened to be in Siena on the day of the Palio, a fiercely competitive horserace. After visiting Il Campo where preparations were being made for the race later in the day, we found ourselves back at the piazza in front of the Duomo where the procession of the Contrades, representatives of Siena’s seventeen […]
Via Francigena – Montefiascone and a legend
We were on the Via francigena and had arrived in the small Italian city of Montefiascone, built on an old volcanic ridge, a wonderful place to rest after the walk from Bolsena. We walked up the main road to a secondary winding road that led to the very top of the volcanic rim and to […]
London – Jubilee Walk
I met Carol at Paddington Station and we take the Underground to Victoria Station. These large London stations connect London to the rest of Britain and Europe. Always lots of people milling and walking about. We walk down to the Royal Mews to have a look at the Queens horses and Stables. One of the […]
Le Puy to Conques – a German pilgrim and the lost key
Le Puy, France Well, this was it. The planning and research was over. There were 800kms to walk from Le Puy to the Pyrenees and then another 700km to Santiago de Compostela. However our journey would be considerably shorter at 210km across the Auvergne region in Southern France. We would be following the GR65, one […]
