2018 / 2019 RECAP... After walking the Pacific Crest Trail across western USA and travelling to Hong Kong, China and Taiwan in 2018, Summer 2019 brought with it another great adventure on foot! We returned to one of our much-loved places - the Pyrenees - and completed our own coast to coast route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea following a combination of the GR10 in France, the GR11 in Spain and the HRP (Pyrenean Haute Route). Blog posts with our weekly trail reports and photographs are now online!

LATEST NEWS FOR 2020! With the easing of lockdown restrictions, we decided on a 'staycation' this summer and headed off to the Lake District for a new hiking adventure. This wasn't any old walk in the English countryside however - our latest challenge was to attempt to summit all 214 Lakeland fells chosen by Alfred Wainwright as outlined in his 7 pictorial guides. It has been our hardest challenge to date and one that we were sadly unable to complete. Find out how we fared in our latest blog posts coming soon...
