South West Coast Path - Porlock Weir to Lynmouth

South West Coast Path – Porlock Weir to Lynmouth

One day walking the stunning South West Coast Path between Porlock Weir to Lynmouth, part of the 1,014km long marked footpath, the longest in England. Designated as a national trail in 1978 it has steadily gained in popularity, and is regularly voted the best walking route in the country. After this taster I’d be keen to return for more. It takes about eight weeks to walk around the coast of…

Miramar Peninsula

One of my favourite parts of Wellington, Miramar Peninsula was an island until a major earthquake about six hundred years ago raised the land and connected it to the mainland. This area is now home to Wellington Airport, gateway to New Zealand’s capital. At the northern tip of the peninsula is the impressive Massey Memorial, honouring New Zealand’s Prime Minister from 1912 to 1925. It was…

Durmitor National Park - Black Lake, Snake Lake & Zabljak

One of the most popular places in Durmitor National Park, Black Lake (Crno Jezero) is a rather lovely glacial lake, 1,416m above sea level.

In summer they are separated by a narrow strait, though not when I visited in mid June 2023 when days…

Bjelasica Mountains - Crna Glava circuit

An excellent 16km circuit toward the 2,139m high Crna Glava, the highest peak in the Bjelasica Mountains in northern Montenegeo. The scenery was the near equal of day hikes I’ve done in Switzerland but I only saw three other hikers all day. The walking was mostly on 4WD tracks so rather too easy, but meant that the views could be appreciated without tripping over… After heavy rain the previous…

Tip Track Loop

One of the many wonderful day walks in Wellington, on a good day it’s hard to beat heading up The Trip Track through Te Kopahou Reserve, down to Owhiro Bay and back to complete a decent ~8km / 3 hour loop. The track is aptly named as it climbs up past the Wellington Southern Landfill, which can be smelly experience depending on which way the infamous Wellington wind is blowing… Sadly gorse is…
