Danube cycle ride
- The highly popular cycle route from the source of the Danube at Donaueschingen down to Vienna. September 2011.

Coast to Coast
- The classic Wainwright trail from St Bees on the west coast of England, to Robin Hoods Bay on the east coast. All in all a pleasant trail, and I was rather lucky to get almost perfect weather for the whole nine days. Particular highlights included practically everything in the lakes, the old mine scenery between Keld and Reeth, especially the cracking stretch around Bunton Hush, and the high moors on the Cleveland Way. July 2011.

John Muir Trail
- The classic long distance trail in the High Sierra mountains in California, starting in Yosemite Valley and travelling south down to the summit of Mount Whitney. Some extra challenge from having to carry ten days worth of food, squeezed into a bear barrel! September 2010.

Tour of the Queyras (GR58)
- Excellent circuit of the Queyras, in the French Alps, with some tricky passes due to late lying snow. June 2010

Cambrian Way
- Superb route traversing the length of Wales from Cardiff to Conwy, and taking in some of the most spectacular scenery and much of the high ground on the way, through the Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons, Plynlimon, Cader Idris, Rhinogs, Snowdon, Glyders, and the Carnedds. Good weather (mostly) too. June 2008.

Hadrians Wall
- Nice trail from Wallsend through to Bowness-on-Solway, lots of of historical interest, including some cracking sections of wall. May bank holiday 2008.
