<\/a><\/p>\nOne of the most renowned walking routes in the world is the Appalachian Trail in the US<\/a>. At over 2,200 miles long, it would be quite the achievement to tackle all of it on your first proper go. Which is precisely why you can choose just one leg of it, and have a great time without the added pressure of all those miles still ahead. If you want to explore rolling terrain with the odd mountain pass thrown in for good measure, this is a route that will long live in your memory.<\/p>\n The summer months may feel unseasonably hot if you\u2019re used to milder weather, so you\u2019ll want to plan accordingly. There are also plenty of opportunities for some amazing photography if you are so inclined. Pack your camera, pack a windbreaker and spare socks, and add plenty of film for the SLR to your day sack. Perfect for enjoying the trip from end to end.<\/p>\n There\u2019s perhaps nowhere better to get away from it all than the Camino de Santiago. With hundreds and hundreds of kilometers of trails to choose from, this is a destination that you can head back to over and over again for years to come. If you\u2019re a lover of warm continental weather and walking in the beating sun, it is certainly worth taking a closer look. Depending on how hot you want things to get, you can book in early spring, summer, or late autumn. The different ways<\/a> all require a slightly different level of fitness and experience, so make sure you give yourself an honest evaluation before setting out.<\/p>\n What makes the Camino so unique is the accommodation and the huge variety of people you are likely to meet on the road. You can spend the night at hotels, hostels or in special pilgrim hostels, where you can participate in the communal meal and get to know your fellow travelers.<\/p>\n If you really want to get away from it all, the northern reaches of Scotland sound as good a place as any. The landscape is like nothing else you will have ever seen, and despite being inhabited for thousands of years it remains relatively untouched<\/a> by man compared to the rest of the British Isles. The sweeping winds are far from gale force, but if you want to stay cool even in the summer months, this could be a nice alternative to consider if the continent is too hot for you.<\/p>\n With rolling landscapes, climbs, and plenty of wildlife to try and find this is one region that is set to see an explosion in walking holidays. Plan a route of your own that weaves between a few of the villages and you\u2019ll be able to see more of the area whilst immersing yourself in the local culture at the same time.<\/p>\nThe Camino de Santiago<\/h2>\n
