Hi, I’m Chris and sometimes I walk.
Sometimes I walk a lot.
Sometimes while walking, I mutter to myself. This blog is a window into that world. Not a big, shiny window like you might find on some of those other hiking blogs. You know the ones; smiling, well adjusted people joyfully eating their cold-soaked lentils on the Appalachian Trail. No, this is a tiny, grimy window effusing a sickly light. The sort of window that you’d probably be better off moving quickly past with gaze averted.
In 2023 I hurriedly set up a blog at the last minute before hiking the AAWT as a way to share my hike with friends and family. This is now the home for that blog, and a place to journal the longer hikes that I do. And maybe some other crap. If you subscribe, there’s a good chance months will go by without a peep, followed by a sudden glut as a long-awaited hike happens.
You won’t see adverts or AI generated content on this blog. Fuck that noise.
