Hiking Valencia, Spain

One of our BEST VIDEOS.

One of the best urban hikes anywhere is right through the heart of Valencia, Spain — though a huge green space that runs through the city.

After a catastrophic flood in 1957, the city drained and rerouted the Turia river creating a sunken park. Ideal for walking and all outdoor activities.

Sadly, the city was flooded again in 2024.

Cycling, Hiking Lofoten Islands, Norway

One of our BEST VIDEOS.

HIGHLIGHTS of 2 weeks on the Lofoten Islands, Arctic Norway. Summers of 2022 and 2023.

Lofoten is my favourite destination in that wonderful nation.

You can camp FREE almost anywhere. And most ferries are FREE for cyclists and pedestrians.

BestHike – Skógafoss Waterfall Way, Iceland

One of our BEST VIDEOS.

Perhaps 25 waterfalls and spectacular canyons in series.

I can’t recall better anywhere else in the world.

Trail starts at massive Skógafoss and continues 8km (5 miles). The views just as good on the way back.

I waited about 5 days for a good weather window. Hiked the Waterfall Way twice, up-and-down, over 3 days.

I wanted the trail as empty of people as possible. And to catch the sun low in the sky.

Autumn Hiking, Vancouver Island

My favourite season for hiking is autumn.

The colours, for sure.

Sunlight low in the sky.

But even more is the melancholy of days getting shorter. The year coming to an end.

Most of the trees in the Vancouver Island rain forest are evergreen. But there are enough deciduous to make for wonderful scenes.

Faroe Islands in 90 Seconds

The Faroe Islands are one of the most scenic places I’ve ever hiked. No place is more than 5km from the sea. 

I was there for 12 days summer 2024, arriving by ferry from Denmark en route to Iceland.
