Walking Travel

When Paul set out to walk the Wolds Way, he thought it would be a nice, leisurely stroll through his own backyard. Spoiler alert: it was anything but. Starting at the Humber Estuary in the middle of winter, Paul soon discovered that the Wolds were home to a treasure trove of bizarre history, eccentric people, and enough oddities to make you question everything. Joined by his trusty sidekicks, Rob and Chris, they set off through the dales and valleys, uncovering an ancient land with more secrets than an old man’s attic. From an unsolved archaeological mystery (because of course) to ...

Paul and Rob are at it again—this time, quite literally walking home. Taking on The Wilberforce Way, a trail running from York to Hull in honor of anti-slavery legend William Wilberforce, our intrepid (and slightly clueless) adventurers set off, blissfully unaware of the ridiculousness that awaits them. Kicking things off in York, they immediately stumble upon a famous piece of poo (yes, really), before learning some deeply unsettling facts about moles—namely, that they don’t taste great but will absolutely trip you up. Pocklington, it turns out, is home to madmen, top-secret history,...

Yellowstone is a land of extreme diversity. Nowhere else will you find wolves, bison, and grizzlies living among the largest concentration of hot springs and geysers in the world. The park’s 2.2 million acres is an incongruous landscape of bubbling hot, lunar-like geothermal features, lush green rolling meadowlands, snow covered mountain peaks, colorful canyons, waterfalls, lakes and untamed rivers. It is a park so large, so complex and so fascinating it seems fitting that it owns the title as our world’s first national park! Travel Audios’ park approved audio tour will help you understand what you are seeing and smelling! It is not a mile-by-mile guide; it can be listened to anywhere. It features an impressive group of knowledgeable Park Ranger geologists, biologists and naturalists who explain the geological processes that created the landscape and why this area in Wyoming is such a geothermal hot spot. They’ll tell you about their studies and observations of the park’s wildlife and their experience with massive forest fires.

Eastbourne or Bust A not-at-all-serious account of one man, one bike, and the long, painful road to the coast. Ever thought cycling the South Downs Way would be a charming, leisurely jaunt through scenic countryside? Yeah, so did I. Idiot. What actually happened was a four-day, mud-splattered odyssey of mechanical failures, chalky cliffside death slides, possessed bike saddles, and a surprising number of historical detours involving Romans, smugglers, haunted windmills and at least one overly dramatic Victorian tunnel. Armed with questionable fitness, a half-functioning bicycle, and the ...

I really should have seen it coming—because, let’s be honest, planets are massive—but somehow, I didn’t. One moment, I was happily sliding about like someone playing twister after they had lubed themselves up with copious amounts of industrial-strength baby oil, and the next, I was face-first in a field of cow crap, legs in the air, dignity long gone. Welcome to The Viking Way, a long-distance walk stretching from Barton in Lincolnshire to Oakham in Rutland (which, fun fact, is England’s smallest county). “I’ll walk it,” I thought. “It’ll be fun,” I thought. And sure, ...
