  • Camino Portuguese Way Coastal Route with Spiritual Variant : 'Solo Together'
    Sep 4 2025

    Today we, as a group of Active Travel Adventures listeners, walk "solo together' to complete the Portuguese Way Camino Coastal Route with the beautiful Spiritual Way Variant. We all had the same itinerary and lodging, but we could walk our own Camino, each day deciding whether to walk with others in the ATA group, solo or with new friends met along the way.

    You'll learn what to expect when doing an El Camino ("The Way") to Santiago in Spain, where the relics of St. James are said to be buried under the magnificent cathedral.

    You'll get plenty of tips and insights about planning and doing your own Camino or long distance walking holiday.

  • Hiking Guide: What to Do if your Get Lost in the Woods
    Aug 21 2025
    Many of you are familiar with the disappearance of Gerry Largay, trail name Inchworm. In 2013, Gerry went missing near Stratton Maine on her thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. After Maine’s most extensive search in their history, she was not found. In fact, it wasn’t until more than two years later that a surveyor found her remains. So while you may be familiar with the story as it made international news, you probably don’t know that Gerry was my friend and hiking buddy. Gerry stepped off the trail to go to the bathroom, and then got disoriented. Once she found herself lost in the woods, she didn’t know what to do. Today, if you’ll spare me a few minutes, I’ll teach you what you are supposed to do if YOU get lost in the woods. This episode is in honor of my friend, Geradine Largay. In honor of Gerry, I produced this episode in hopes that it may help a fellow hiker who gets lost in the woods. Today, you will learn tips and techniques you can use if you ever find yourself lost in the wilderness. Please share this message with all of your hiking friends and family!
