October 2020: UK's Cairngorms, Hadrian's Wall, Cumbria High Way. With much the world in varied lockdown, we fled north the check out some of the UK's best walking during a lockdown lull. Refreshing in a difficult time.

August 2020: the amazing Isle of Skye. Extraordinarily varied landscape, from the thrilling, world-famous Black Cuilllin to the geological oddity of the Quiraing to white coral sand beaches. Walking bliss.

March 2020: we've finally got to Mt Kilimanjaro. Wonderful walking, done the slow way. Just before the virus really hit, so we feel both lucky and sad for the wonderful team there, for whom life isn't going to be easy in the coming months.

December 2019: our 1,250th walk joins Walkopedia - East above Mestia in Georgia's amazing Caucasus mountains. See more here!
