Every season in the hiking calendar has its special rewards, but also its specific problems.

For the first two days on our recent hiking trip to the Palatinate, our base was the town of Bad Dürkheim, which is the main tourist centre of the area, beloved by mainly local visitors (German, Dutch, Belgian) for its pretty townscape, its lovely surroundings – miles after miles of vineyards – and its long…

There are days I love just going for a walk in the neighborhood. There is something about being outside the clears the mind and refreshes the spirit. I live in a great area for the outdoors but I also LOVE walking in big cities.
As you can see from my recent post, walking in the rain isn’t bad either :)
