Great Ocean Walk – solo hiking 100km to recover, refresh and reconnect – day 2

Earlier this year I lost my hiking mojo due to an incident I am yet to write about. Not long after, I travelled from Western Australia to South Australia and Victoria and back to Perth towing our caravan, a 10000km round trip. Once on the open road and away from home I decided that this …

Gear list for overnight & multi-night hiking

Duskot Village – Education visit (Part 1:The journey to Duskot)

My name is Lou, and I’m addicted…..to hiking

Let me tell you a little story about how it happened. Although a lover of the great outdoors, camping, exploring, getting dirty and open to new adventures all my life, I had never really been much of a hiker/walker. This started to change when I lived in Kawachinagano (about 35km south of Osaka, Japan) for …

The day the mountains beat me.

3 March 2018. How could a day that started so well go so wrong? There I was, fourteen days into my Nepal trekking adventure sitting in the snow on the side of a mountain freezing cold, struggling to breathe and coughing up pink mucous. A helicopter had flown over us twice but had been unable …
