Maybe your feet prefer tougher paths up hill, through the heavy, scented woods of Fort Worden?

Our canal boat holiday started on the Macclesfield canal at Congleton, which has some interesting pubs and shops. We hired our 44 foot 4 berth narrowboat from Heritage Narrow boats, it was a modern well appointed canal boat with central heating, tv, radio/cd etc. as well as all bed linen and duvets.

The original Africa safaris were walking tours. Though they have been greatly replaced by today’s fast paced vehicle safaris, the magic of an Africa walking tour lives on. Walking safaris introduces you to the African wildlife and wilderness in a much superior way than you can ever archive when you are cooped up in a safari vehicle. If you enjoy walking as hobby read on for the facts about Africa walking safaris.

We recently joined some friends on their boating holiday along the Caledonian canal. A short boating holiday was an ideal way to spend a long weekend. The car journey was very scenic up to Fort William, at the start of this canal which passes through the Great Glen. The canal links several lochs from Inverness down to Fort William, so at times you are on quiet an expanse of water, especially Loch Ness. From Glasgow or Edinburgh the trip north to the Caledonian canal takes about two hours by car on good quality roads.

As a college senior entering his final semester en route to a 6-year Bachelor’s Degree (not by design, but by indecision and poor scheduling) I consider myself qualified in the subject of backpacks. Of course, I do not wish to label myself as strictly a ‘school backpacker’. Here are some tips from my 26 years.

The northern state is a veritable natural playground, with a wealth of pristine and charming natural habitats and some of the most enchanting panoramas in the world. To get the most out of your Alaska trip, and to have a little pampering even as you explore the untamed wilds of Alaska, stay at a Juneau hotel (one of the many catering to visitors, all of which are excellent) and let yourself enjoy this peaceful city.

If you ever wanted to see the vast variety of wild game in Africa, Kruger National Park is the place to go. This is no San Diego Zoo where you walk around at your leisure and get your fill in a few short hours. Plan to spend at least two days to enjoy the wonders this park has to offer.

The path led on into the upper reaches of the valley. The only sound here was the river somewhere below on my left in a rocky ravine where it flowed back down towards the valley floor spreading into a wide alluvial plain. A lone raven soared above the Grey crags up to my right and snow blanketed the mountainside higher up. I made my way on up to where the path crossed an ancient stone wall at a stile and was met by a surprise.
