Can anyone recommend a good pair of women’s walking trousers for warm weather? I normally live in my Craghopper Kiwis and while they were okay today (18ish C) they were just too warm last weekend (23C). Not cropped, because ticks. Ideally need to come in short lengths and go up to a size 18, and available in the UK. TIA for any suggestions!
So... First walkies with new shoes and inlays are a thing... And they walked so nicely... Even the shitty weather couldn't take away how my feet felt during these 5 km...
Hopefully these shoes will last me quite a while, as they were expensive enough 😉
But with the amounts that I walk...
I would not be surprised if I need to start saving already for a new pair. 😇
Today we set out on our postponed two-stages of the Cathar Way (we might finish it eventually, one stage at a time!) in the Pyrenees. No rain on our walk, more importantly none of the thunderstorms that have peppered our days here, and a goodly amount of sunshine.
We reached Comus well ahead of schedule just after lunch and had to wait for the only establishment to open.
We’re staying in a gîte d’étape (hostel) and I’m slightly out of my comfort zone! Beers are helping!
Another lovely walk…another day playing with thunderstorms! A 15 km walk from Rennes-le-Chateau to Espéraza (where there’s a quirky market on a Sunday - great stop for lunch and gift shopping). ‘Weather’ was forecast for late pm but storm clouds rolled in just after lunch so we hoofed it back to Rennes. Some big fat raindrops, thunder rumbling and lightening flashing on the next hill over. But as we reached Rennes the sun came back out again and we enjoyed a beer on a sunny terrace.
I've been in a great mood lately! Yesterday I walked over 15k steps!
Part of those steps: I did strolling magic yesterday. The host liked me so much, they gave me a 15% tip! I also tried out a couple of new effects and they worked like a literal charm. I was in a flow state.
The weather has been absolutely gorgeous the last few days. I've not needed air conditioning.
I’m hanging out at the famous Blue Pool this morning eating lunch and drying out my tent. It rained a bit while I slept but was only misting by the time I was packing up. I’ve already covered a large portion of the trail last night and this morning. This trail is a gem, I love it out here. I believe the waterfall corridor is next. Just a quick post, more photos to come.
I tagged the end of the trail this morning. Incredible trail. No one told me I would be hiking on a lava bed at the edge of a beautiful lake. I’m currently in the snow attempting a summit of Sand Mountain to see the views.
I received word via satellite that Sand Mountain has great views of the surrounding volcanos. Decided to take a last minute 15-mile side trip. First time I’ve climbed a snowy mountain but it wasn’t too hard with micro spikes. Snow was still frozen from overnight. I felt like I was on the top of the world, no one around for miles. It’s amazing we can do this.

KERRY KING: 'I Lost 10 Pounds Not Even Trying'
In a new interview with Riff X's "Metal XS", SLAYER guitarist Kerry King, who relocated to New York City less than three years ago, spoke about how he is preparing for his upcoming tour with his solo band after not playing any shows since 2019.
Started out sunny, ended in a sea fret, which rolled in with the tide. Not before I had another ice cream though (not pictured). #Walking#FifeCoastalPath
Mount Hood looks stunning from up here on Table Mountain. I was informed by a frankly terrified-looking day hiker that black bears were seen up here last night. I’m proceeding with caution and will update you if I encounter them. 🐻🗻☀️
I explored the unmaintained Two Chiefs Trail on the way out of the forest. Saw some unique views of Table Mountain from the south. Had to turn back at Greenleaf Creek because there was no way to cross without getting soaked. It was great to be back out exploring new areas along the PCT.
