We returned from revisiting our multi-day hiking route and updating our other Lake District guides.

We’re back in London, working on new guides and updating our London things to do with fresh ideas on what to see, do and eat.
JUL 2026
Amsterdam & Berlin
We’re heading to Amsterdam and Berlin to revisit some old favourites we haven’t been to for many years.
AUG 2026
Austria
We’ve booked a multi-day hike through the Karwendel and Rofan Mountains, starting in Innsbruck, to see a side of Austria we haven’t visited before.
NOV 2026
South Africa
Later in the year, we’re heading back to South Africa to explore one of our favourite destinations again. You can read what we have so far on our South Africa page.
If you’re looking for trip ideas, here are the places worth booking right now.
July, 2026.
Dolomites (Sep–Oct)
The busiest summer months are over, leaving quieter trails, crisp mountain air and some of the best hiking conditions of the year.
Nepal (Oct–Nov)
October is peak trekking season in the Himalayas, with clear skies and trails at their most accessible. Permits and teahouses fill up months ahead.
Iceland (Sep–Oct)
The summer crowds have gone, but the waterfalls, volcanic landscapes and dramatic coastal scenery are still at their best.
Some trips are as much about the journey as the destination. These are the road trips we’d do again without hesitation.
