Three days on the Skellan Ridge, hut to hut
Forty-one kilometres, two huts, one genuinely bad step, and the best sunset I’ve seen from a bunk window. A full route report, with the timings I actually walked.
Trip reports
Hiking and paddling trip reports
Day-by-day accounts of real trips: distances, timings, where to sleep, what went wrong, and whether it was worth it.
Paddling the Orrin Lakes after the crowds go home
Four lakes, three portages, two nights’ worth of mist, and not another boat for most of a day. Why late September is the best time to paddle the Orrin chain.
Five days on the Tarrow Coast with a bus pass and no car
A coast path, a weekly bus pass, four guesthouses and a lot of sandwiches. How to walk a coastline end to end without ever needing a car.
The Sunday letter
A long read for Sunday morning, and a small trip for the weekend.
One long read, one small trip you could do this month, and the kit I’d actually buy again. Every other Sunday, free.
