Hiking the Northumberland Coastal Path, part 1


In part one of our Northumberland coastal hike, we check out Warkworth and Alnwick castles. We walk for miles and miles on the sand of Druridge Bay Beach, and we browse the shelves of Barter Books.

We hike along the clifftops of the Yorkshire Coast, from Saltburn-by-the-Sea to Robin Hoods Bay.

In part one of our exploration of the Cleveland Way, we hike from Helmsley to Rievaulx Abbey, we take in the views from Sutton Bank, and we explore the town of Whitby.

We spent a sunny day cycling the Tissington Trail in the Peak District of central England. The next day we explore Dovedale on foot.

On the night of January 20th, 2026, my friend Darren and I photographed a pretty display of aurora at Lake Minnewanka, Banff Park.

South of Nara, Japan, the Yamanobe-no-Michi trail leads through traditional villages, past pretty temples, and through nice farmland.

Taiwan’s east coast offered us dramatic coastal scenery, excellent cycling, wonderful accommodations, stiff headwinds, soaking rain, and a scary tunnel.

Olle 20 and 21 go though carrot fields and past some spectacular white-sand beaches. We visit the Sehwa five-day market.

On the north shore of Jeju Island, we hike through fishing villages to downtown Jeju City. We hike past pretty Hamdeok Beach. At the Jeju Hangil Memorial Hall we learn about the resistance movement during the Japanese occupation.

On the northwest side of Jeju Island, we stumble through the bushes near a brewery, we hike along pretty Gwakji Beach, and a farmer gives us half a crate of oranges.
