Best hikes, treks, tramps in the world.
travel2walk posted a very detailed trip report on how to hike Lofoten north of the Arctic Circle.
The Lofoten Islands are characterised by their mountains and peaks, sheltered inlets, stretches of seashore and large virgin areas. …
May and June are the driest months, while October has three times as much precipitation. …
The easiest way to get there is to fly Oslo to Bodø.

A team of Ultra-marathon runners (Benjamin Clark, Timothy Olson, Anna Frost, & Matt Trappe) journey to Bhutan to set a speed record on the world’s hardest trek.

It’s going to be launched in select U.S. theatres May 17, 2018.

I’m brainstorming a trip for summer 2018.
I could rent a car and do this loop. Vehicle and fuel would be expensive, but I’d camp most nights.
That gets me to Skjeggedal, Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), Rondane National Park, Hardangervidda National Park … as well as the scenic Atlantic Road driving tour.

Cam Honan has hiked everything. Everywhere. But for me his most impressive trips have been his extreme Tasmania epics.
Floating rivers on his NeoAir mattress, for example.
For us mere mortals, he summarized his advice on a route called Arthur Range Traverse.
It’s only 48 miles (77km) but will take you 10-14 days, on average. With no resupply. You carry all that food on your back.
