ART OF WALKING

Walking is the most basic form of travel. Its gift is movement through a shifting landscape, where what is seen, remembered and storied feeds both real and imagined worlds.

Walking remains central to my life and my writing. Memories of mountains in England, Europe, the Himalaya, Canada and New Zealand paved my way to bushwalking in Australia. The Cornish Celtic Way 2024, the Camino del Norte 2024 and the Kumano Kodo 2025 were my introduction to pilgrimage. Now other long-distance hikes beckon.
