Step aside, group trekkers! The lone wolves are taking the trail. If the idea of solo hiking has ever tickled your fancy, or if you’ve just had enough of Tom from work stealing your trail mix, this guide is about to become your new wilderness bestie. Ah, solo hiking. It's where serene introspection meets grit, and where Mother Nature serves up lessons with a side of "did I just hear a bear or was that my stomach?" This guide? Think of it as your trusty manual to navigate the beautiful chaos of it all. A trail veteran or a rookie, there's a nugget (or a boulder) of wisdom in here for you. Begin with your wardrobe (and no, flannel isn’t the only option). Dive deep into the world of gear. Ever considered that your backpack could be akin to a mobile man-cave? Or that your boots, when chosen right, could feel like foot-hugging clouds even on the rockiest terrains? Discover how to layer like a pro. Because while we appreciate a rugged look, no one's impressed by hypothermia. Speaking of gear, this book has a whole section dedicated to it. No more overpacking till you're mistaken for a mule. This guide ensures you're equipped without feeling like you're lugging around your entire garage. Solo doesn’t mean “solo meals,” by the way. Unearth the secrets of dining alone and find out why chocolate isn’t just for dessert. Or breakfast. Or lunch. Return from the wild, and no amount of fancy restaurant meals will beat the sheer joy of post-hike food delivery. Trust us. Hey gents, ever heard of the pee funnel? Well, there’s a chapter dedicated just for the lovely trail goddesses, but who's to say you won’t find it intriguing? Chronicle your escapades, and we're not just talking about the “I conquered this peak” selfies. Learn the ancient art of campfire storytelling. Just you, the whispering trees, and perhaps a captivated squirrel or two. Find your tribe of fellow lone rangers to swap stories and experiences. Spoiler: they’re out there, cherishing their solitude and the mutual disdain for unsolicited trail “tips.” By the end, you won’t just have memories of the trail, but tales fit for legends. (P.S. Every mysterious rustling isn’t a bear, sometimes it’s just Tom from work trying solo hiking.) So, whether you're looking to temporarily escape society, prove a point, or simply find out if trees are really the best listeners, this guide has your back. Ready to flex those calves, grow that beard (or not), and take on nature like the solo champ you were born to be? Let’s hit the trail, one introspectively step at a time. Adventure awaits, and it looks darn good on you!

What would move you to ditch your life and take off into the wild for six months? For Melbourne woman Laura Waters, it took the implosion of a toxic relationship and a crippling bout of anxiety. Armed with a compass, a paper map and as much food as she could carry, she set out to walk the untamed landscapes of New Zealand’s Te Araroa track, 3000 kilometres of raw, wild, mountainous trail winding from the top of the North Island to the frosty tip of the South Island. But when her walking partner dropped out on the first day, she was faced with a choice: abandon the journey and retreat to the safety of home, or throw caution to the wind and continue on – alone. She chose to walk on. For six months, she battled not only treacherous mountain ridges and river crossings, but also the demons of self-doubt and anxiety, and the shadow of an emotionally abusive relationship. At the end of Te Araroa (‘the long pathway’, as it is translated from Maori) it was the hardearned insights into mental health, emotional wellbeing and fulfilling relationships – with others as well as with herself – that were Laura’s greatest accomplishments. She emerged ‘rewilded’, and it transformed her life.

This is the adventure story of the first man to walk alone along the length of the highest mountains on earth; it is also an account of one person’s interaction with the Himalayas’ three great religions. It is a meditation on the joy of walking and as its heart, it is a literary confirmation of humankind’s ability to come to terms with the loss of a loved one. The tragic death of Jono Lineen’s younger brother becomes the catalyst for him to move to the Himalayas and spend eight years among the world’s highest mountains. The experience culminates in a four-month, 2,700-kilometer, solo trekking odyssey from Pakistan to Nepal. No one had ever attempted to walk the length of the Western Himalayas alone, but Lineen’s intentions were more psychological than physical. The trek was about immersing himself in the Himalayan culture he had grown to love, assimilating the wisdom of the place and using it to come to terms with his brother’s death.

For travelers everywhere. If you like the travel writing of Bill Bryson, Pico Iyer, and Anthony Bourdain, you will love Peaks and Valleys. Tibetan Buddhists believe that making a journey around a sacred site brings merit in the next life. Author Matthew Sims believes that meaningful travel brings merit in this life. After the death of his closest friend, New York jazz guitarist Scott Sherwood, Sims takes a journey alone and on foot across the Alps. Along the way he meets a group of septuagenarian Austrian superwomen, a Tibetan refugee, a legendary chef who is a dead-ringer for Mussolini, and others who either help or hinder him on this 250 mile journey across parts of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. This sometimes humorous, sometimes touching travel memoir takes readers through stunning landscapes and quaint villages and uncovers much about the kindness of strangers as well as the colorful history of the central Alps (think witch hunts, sheep obsessions, avalanches, and assassins in bear suits).

If you enjoyed THE SALT PATH by Raynor Winn, you'll love this true story of English eccentricity, the Texan pioneering spirit & 2 women old enough to know better 'A book to inspire' - Good Housekeeping Magazine 'This is one of the best travel books I have read to date. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every drop of it.' - Vine Voice Reviewer At the age of 50+, Susie walks, all alone, across France... 500 miles from the West to the East, with her tent on her back. She hands over her French farmhouse full of assorted animals to a total stranger from Texas she finds on the internet. As Susie doggedly tramps over unknown terrain from La Rochelle to Geneva, frequently lost and either too hot or too cold, Texan Jennifer copes heroically with lost dogs, erratic electricity, old men hiding in bushes, and a language she cannot speak.For each of them it is a life-changing experience. Both find their resourcefulness and ingenuity tested to the limit as, in their own ways, they explore and enjoy the culture, cuisine and people of Europe's most fascinating country. 'Susie is able to paint a picture with words that makes me feel like I am beside her on her journey. Perfect for the Francophile, the armchair adventurer, and the lover of good literature for this is surely literature.' - Vine Voice Reviewer' 'This author is becoming a fast friend to take to bed with me - Kindle & a glass of red and Susie Kelly - there is little to better it in the travel writing arena.' - Goodreads 'There are a handful of authors who will achieve that elusive trick of making you laugh out loud. For me it's James Herriot, Bill Bryson & Susie Kelly.' French Entrée Magazine In an attempt to withstand the relentlessly penetrating cold of a French January, I had taken to marching briskly around the wintry lanes and byways in my locality for several hours each day. This tended to be marginally warmer than staying in the house. But when you have started from and arrived at the same point for about the thirtieth time, you begin to feel that there may be more to life than going round in loops, and it was this that led me to decide to walk, instead, from one place to a completely different one. So I thought I would walk round the whole perimeter of the country, but once I looked at the map I could see it would take me a year. On the other hand the nearest coastal point west of home was La Rochelle, which, if you drew a straight line eastwards, lined up handily with Lake Geneva, only about four hundred miles away, a journey which I estimated should take about six weeks. It was not a project to undertake rashly, so I thought about it very carefully for twenty minutes before going to visit my friend and neighbour Gloria, to announce my intentions. 'Guess what, I'm going to walk across France.' Gloria liked to get straight to the point. 'When?' she asked. '1st May. The weather will be just right then.' 'Good for you, ' she replied. And that was it, really. I started planning. It couldn't require anything more than a bit of common sense I thought. There were a few potential snags - I'd never hiked anywhere further than a three-mile radius from my house before, nor pitched a tent; I didn't and never would understand how to use a compass; and my level of physical fitness was somewhere on a par with Mother Theresa and the Pope. However, by far the largest obstacle to the venture were the animals: two elderly mares, six dogs, a cat, two parrots, some fish and a pair of killer geese, who were going to need someone to take care of them while I was away. My husband Terry couldn't possibly leave his business unattended in England for several weeks; and, well, as a matter of fact, I hadn't actually mentioned the project to him...

At just over 100 miles long, and taking 7 to 10 days to complete, the Arctic Circle Trail crosses the largest ice-free patch of West Greenland. This splendid trekking route, lying 25-30 miles north of the Arctic Circle runs from Kangerlussuaq to Sisimiut (both of which have airport access). The trail traverses remote, empty, silent and stunningly scenic arctic tundra, and is mostly gently graded with just a few short, steep and rocky slopes. However, the landscape between the two towns of Kangerlussuaq and Sisimiut is extremely remote and those who choose to take on this route must be competely self-sufficient. The book includes plenty of practical information on what to take with you and when to go, as well as on safety, travel and accommodation. Fully illustrated with a variety of photographs and its route is highlighted on continuous trekking maps. The guide also includes an optional extension to the Greenlandic ice cap.
