87 miles in 8 days to reflect and reconnect. Separated from ordinary reality, yet so close to home.
Sometimes we all need to escape. Author, Holly Worton, believes deeply in re-CONNECTION through remoteness in the great outdoors. Walking long distance trails is a mobile meditation that deeply cleanses your body, mind, and soul. It’s a magical, wonderful, and deeply healing experience. Solitary long-distance walks can give you a deep level of mental rest, despite the physical activity.
Alone on the Ridgeway is not just a practical book that can help you plan your Ridgeway hiking adventure, but it is also a deeply reflective book as Holly shares with you her personal lessons learned on the trail as her deepest fears and limiting beliefs began to appear during her journey. The solitude pulls up our fears to the surface where they can heal.

Book Title: Driving Tito: Through The Balkan Backroads with a Celebrity
USA: https://www.amazon.com/
UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/
Price: $.99
When Emma Carmichael announced to her colleagues that she was buying a Zastava – the Yugoslavian answer to an Italian Cinquecento – to travel across their Balkan peninsula, they laughed uproariously and warned her she would not get very far in such an archaic vehicle with no mechanical skills, and little understanding of the language.
Undeterred, Emma set off on a 4,677 kilometre journey through the backroads, across the mountains, and along the coastlines of ten Balkan countries in her Zastava 750, determined to prove to her colleagues that the Balkan vintage car was made of sturdier stuff than they thought.Encountering border crossing bureaucracy, breakdowns and the Bosnian Army on manoeuvres, her car, affectionately named Tito, became an unlikely hero of the road and people were charmed by him wherever they went.
Driving Tito is an honest and heartfelt tale of a woman travelling solo in a world known for its machismo. It is a bumpy ride at times, but Emma captures the true spirit of lone travel, expressing her moments of comedy, mishap and paranoia with descriptive ease as she takes us off the well-trodden track and into the heart of the Balkans.

Are you thinking of walking a Camino as soon as Spain to opens up again? Choose to walk the Camino Ingles, the shorter, sweeter, safer, and just as authentic hike in a post-pandemic world.
The Camino Inglés is a smart choice if you want to walk in 2021 and beyond.
The Camino Inglés spans one province, Galicia, and its capital is Santiago de Compostela, the hallowed goal of the centuries-old pilgrimage.
Did you want to thru-hike the famous pilgrimage trail, the 500 mile/800 km Camino Frances, but are rethinking because of the new normal? Do you worry about finding a bed, getting a meal or help on a six-week hike in a rapidly changing Spain? Or, if you have already walked the Frances, are you looking for another camino?
The Camino Inglés is one of the Northern Caminos, a shorter walking adventure for anyone of moderate fitness through quiet and beautiful landscape. The English Way or Camino Ingles is one of the most accessible and doable of them all, especially in 2020. At 120 kms, you qualify for the coveted Compostela that pilgrims have been seeking for over a thousand years. And in case of outbreaks, this Camino is completely contained in Galicia, so you do not need to navigate a maze of possible restrictions.

Book Title: Where’s the Next Shelter?
US: https://www.amazon.com/Wheres-Shelter-Green-Giant-Travels-ebook/dp/B017QCTR2G/
UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wheres-Shelter-Green-Giant-Travels-ebook/dp/B017QCTR2G/
Price: Free
Where’s the Next Shelter? is the true story of three travelers on the Appalachian Trail, a two thousand mile hike that stretches from Georgia to Maine, told from the perspective of Gary Sizer, a seasoned backpacker and former Marine who quickly finds himself humbled by the endeavor. He teams up with Megan, a sassy college grad whose indomitable spirit eclipses her lack of experience, and Lemmy, a cartoonist from overseas whose off-kilter commentary on the wonders and frustrations of the trail keeps everyone laughing.
Sprawling through the woods and towns of the Appalachian mountains, the trail carries the trio through real and fanciful ups and downs ranging from hilarious to perilous. Much more than an orderly account of mountain tops and meals, it is an adventure about friends figuring things out as they go. It’s about screw-ups and solutions, awe and inspiration.
If you long for the horizon, or to sleep under the stars, then come along for the hike of a lifetime. All you have to do is take the first step.
