I'm always fascinated by hub towns, where travellers and tourists congregate before heading out on their own adventures. There is usually a very distinctive atmosphere, with a polarised transient community split evenly between the newly arrived and those resting up from their exertions. The small town of Imlil acts as the hub for anyone attempting anything more than a day's hiking in the Atlas Mountains. Whilst the Imlil Valley isn't the most photogenic in the Atlas Mountains (The Azzaden Valley takes that prize in my mind), it is isn't exactly camera shy: Enjoy...

La randonnée de 7 jours entre Collioure et Cadaqués est originale. Trait d’union entre la France et l’Espagne, mais totalement Catalane, elle longe la côte méditerranéenne en prenant garde de ne pas trop s’aventurer dans la montagne toute proche.

Standing at 3,726 metres high, Gunung Rinjani on the Island of Lombok in Indonesia is, by all accounts, freaking huge! It’s so big in fact that it can be seen from pretty much anywhere on the island, from the Gili Islands off the North-East coast of Lombok, to Kuta on the far south, approximately 70km away as the bird flies. On a clear day it can be seen from Bali too.

This is the most hair-raising experience you can have on your own two legs! This is a heavy-tourist traffic area in Xian (Mt.Huashan), The hanging wooden planks are a real tourist hike path, which hundreds of daredevils navigate – with no safeguards in sight. Try to step on them in slippery, snowy conditions… or better not.

Deep in South East Morocco, lie two sets of Saharan Ergs, or sand dunes. Measuring around 22km by 5km, the Erg Chebbi dunes form an intriguing island in the otherwise flat and rocky desert that marks out the Moroccan portion of the Sahara Desert. The journey to the Sahara Desert from Marrakech is long and in the summer months, hot as well. However, the trip is more than worth it. Sleeping under the stars in traditional (and very basic) Berber camps, the rest of the world feels like a lifetime away.

Hiking probably isn’t something that comes to mind when you think about the Australian Outback. So I thought I’d better fix that.
Don’t just think about big red rocks, flies and thousands of kilometres of nothing. Think about mountain ranges, gorges, waterholes and spectacular canyons.

Last autumn, I was on Jeju island, South Korea to attend the first ever World Trail Conference. Trail experts from around the world shared interesting information about their trails, stirring my interest in traipsing these trails. I’ve barely covered any of them, but after talking to these trail experts, I’m pretty sure I’ll be walking them sometime in the near future. Meanwhile, as I plot my plans to walk them, here’s a list of the most well-known trails around the world.
