This summer, I got into trail running.

I got into trail running in the summer of 2026 - it had been something on my list to try for a long time, but I suddenly found that I really enjoyed it.

I recently spent a few days in Soll near the Wilder Kaiser as part of running the Tour de Tirol.

OEBB, the Austrian national railway, has a number of night trains that cross from Austria to Italy, Belgium, Germany, and more.

Everything to know about trains in Tirol!

Since I’ve moved to the UK, I’ve been on the hunt for walks and hikes that are easy to reach via public transportation from London.

Day hiking from Bergen These are all hikes that are a bit easy to get to on the city bus or by walking from the center of Bergen.

I’ve been exploring more areas that are easily accessible by train from London.

Copenhagen has a number of fantastic museums.

If you're in Tromsø, one of the best hikes that you can do is the Fjellheisen hike.

One of my favorite trips in Norway – and one of my top recommendations for a first trip to Norway – is using the train from Oslo to Bergen to do a bunch of sightseeing.

Why visit?

One of the ways that I love to experience cities is by going for long walks (see my London long walks LINK as an example).

Copenhagen is a wonderful city to just wander around when it’s nice out.

If you're looking for a walk that hits a lot of Copenhagen's main attractions, this is a great one to do (alongside my Havneringen walk as well).

Copenhagen is a perfect place to go in the fall - or if you’re looking to visit, but trying to find a time that might be slightly cheaper, autumn is an excellent option.

Here’s my quick logistics guide for getting to and around Copenhagen.

Why visit?

I used to have a post about all the various places that I loved to get coffee in Copenhagen.

I have been to Copenhagen many, many times, but until recently, I’d never been to Tivoli.

When I was figuring out where to go hiking near Harstad, I initially planned to do just the Hinnoya Triangle.

The Six Forgotten Giants One of my favorite discoveries in Copenhagen last summer was the troll statues that are sprinkled around the city, out in the suburbs.

Aug 25 One of the cabins that I wanted to visit on my hike through Hinnøya is Fossestua.

I woke up in Harstad this morning and stared out my window at the sunshine.

I woke up this morning And decided I was going to have a nice long morning at the cabin.

Aug 25 I noticed something very exciting as I drank my coffee in the living room at Haakonsbu.

Trekanten på Hinnøya (The Hinn Island Triangle) The Lofoten Islands are fantastic, but they’ve also started to get very crowded over the past few years.

Aug 24 After arriving in Haarstad the night before, it was time to head out to start the Hinnøya på langs route *LINK).

I recently had a couple days in Harstad as I was in transit to my hike across Hinnoya.

August 22nd This post is about my experience running the Tromsø Mountain Challenge 50k - if you’re just looking for the cabin to cabin route descriptions for this area, check out this post.

This was a route that I ran as part of my first ultramarathon.

Trip summary, 5 days on the Nordlandsruta This July, I did five days of the Nordlandsruta without too much planning.

I forced myself to wake up early after not sleeping particularly well the night before.

I slept very late this morning after my 43km the day before.

I woke up this morning at Ballvasshytta and decided that it might be a really good day.

I woke up at Tjalalveshytta this morning and decided that the weather was actually very good.
