Best hikes, treks, tramps in the world.
Arriving Bilbao, Spain on Oct. 1, 2026.
Planning on some days on the Camino del Norte (Northern Way): Irún on the French border back to Bilbao.
The red section on the map below.
That’s about 149 kilometers (92.5 miles) across rugged Basque Country.
Many feel this is the best and most scenic section of the Camino del Norte.
I’ll be an official pilgrim, using the network of albergues (pilgrim hostels), hostels, and tenting.
I hope to visit Biarritz, France, as well. It’s close to Irún.
I really enjoyed my 4 nights in in Newquay. What a terrific tourist town!
See my PHOTOS.
I was here for hiking. Enjoying several walks a day up and down the coast.
Best was sunset over the Atlantic.
I uploaded video clips to the Vizard.ai web page. Here’s the edit it created including music. Not bad.
Their free-plan includes the small translucent “Made with Vizard Agent” mark in the top-right corner. I tried Microsoft Clipchamp as well, but it didn’t work for me.

The Dingle Way (Irish: Slí Chorca Dhuibhne) is a long-distance trail around the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland.
162-kilometre (101-mile) long circular route that begins and ends in Tralee and is typically completed in eight days.
Looks great. But one downside is 40% to 50% is on paved asphalt lanes.

I’m booked.
Starting from St. Ives on Sept. 14, 2026.
This section is widely considered the most rugged, wild, and dramatic stretch of England’s entire 630-mile South West Coast Path.
About 41 miles (66 km) across the remote West Penwith Peninsula, this point-to-point hike features steep cliff-top climbs, historical tin mining ruins, and sweeping Atlantic panoramas.
I do love coastal trails.
This long-distance walking route is the GR 223 of the Senderos de Gran Recorrido network in Spain that connects some of the most inaccessible beaches of Menorca. …
The path is divided in 20 different stages, each of them between 5 and 14 km.

Steve Berger did it wild camping. But setting up your own tent is actually illegal here. You might be fined.

For me, Stingy Nomads offer the most expert advice on Europe’s best coastal trail.
They recommend Porto Covo to Vila Nova de Milfontes for those who want to walk just one day on the famed 230 km/143 mile Fishman’s Trail, just one part of the longer Rota Vicentina routes.
Based on Stingy Nomads advice, I started in Porto Covo and hiked 4 days to Zambujeira do Mar.
If you have the time, take the ferry from Milfontes and keep heading south.
Here’s my TRIP REPORT & PHOTOS from 2021.

A shortened version of the trail over 4 days and 3 nights.
This backcountry trek is not for the first time hiker. The trail is in a remote area, and there are many opportunities to get hurt. Do your homework and make sure you are prepared. …
North Coast Trail is an adventure for the hard core.
A much easier itinerary — in our opinion — is starting at Cape Scott Trail parking lot (getting there by personal vehicle or Shuttle Van) -> hiking as far into the North Coast Trail as you wish -> then backtracking to the parking lot.

I’ve spent many months hiking Vancouver Island out of my parent’s home in Parksville.
BEST is the climate. You can hike year round.
This is not true in most of the rest of the Great White North. Winters are harsh.
Gemma and JR posted a terrific summary of what to do when on Vancouver Island.
My favourite weeks are September to early October. The crowds are gone. But the weather still (usually) quite warm.

Surprisingly, he passed another prominent YouTuber on the trail ➙ Eva zu Beck.
She had more problems:
