My Long Distance Walks

Over the years I've walked tens of thousands of miles on trips long and short. This is a list of walks of the major walks I've completed. Apart from these really long walks I've done sixteen TGO Challenge coast-to-coast crossings of the Scottish Highlands, the Pennine Way, the Southern Upland Way twice, the GR20 in Corsica, three treks in Nepal and many one to two week walks in the Scottish Highlands and also in Norway, the High Sierra, the Grand Canyon and other areas. And on skis I've done two to three week camping trips in Arctic Norway & Sweden, Greenland, Spitsbergen, the Yukon Territory, the High Sierra, Yellowstone and the Wind River range.
