(1) love your site (2) rating Kinabalu's difficulty as DIFFICULT, while Fuji and Stromboli as STRENUOUS is off the mark. I've climbed all 3 and can tell you Kinabalu's 7200' ascent then decent was particularly brutal. Especially with all those steps. The volcanoes allowed the climber to adjust his/her steps as needed with no particular shock to the quads on the way up or the joints or hams going down. All experiences were excellent. Kinabalu with it's 7 vegetation zone beauty, Fuji with it's cultural dimension and sunrise and Stromboli with the very real threat of getting beaned by an errant projectile (3) not including Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) a 5 hr. hike linking Positano with Priano, along the Amalfi coast is a crime as is no mention of the Cinque Terre. Thank you, Jim Holland

Hello Walkopedia and welcome - we need a site like you very much. I just wanted to recommend the Cinque Terre - a World Heritage "walk" which must rate up there very high. Check it out - plenty of websites - I just walked it in April, and it's FABULOUS - a lifetime highlight - and easy so lots of people could do it. Hope you agree. Mary Walkopedia says: thank you very much Mary, most helpful. We had this down to investigate, and will prioritise it!

Champion walker: irritating near high passes, when he draws inexorably ahead of the field. He has accompanied and entertained Walkopedia at Mt Kailash, in the Atlas, Bhutan and the Pindos. Having worked in Tanzania for many years, he has devised the ultimate walking expedition there for Oct 08.
