A Guide to Hillwalking and Hiking.
The aim is to share my experience and knowledge from the forty years I’ve been wandering the countryside with a pack on my back and a smile on my face. From the basics of what kit to take and how to use it, how to safely traverse and navigate certain environments, to the physical and phycological benefits of just getting out there. If you’re new to hiking and wildcamping you’ll find some useful insights on how to get going on your journey, but if you’re an old hand like me, then you might recognise some of the places I mention, and the experiences I’ve had.
I’m going to talk about anything and everything that has even a remote connection to hiking and camping out in the hills, and probably a lot that doesn’t.
