Walking
At home in England, walking is a big part of our lives, either in the countryside or by the coast. So of course, as we make our way around the world we love to go trekking. Mountains are there to be conquered, hidden waterfalls need to be found, those ruins need to be experienced. In some more challenging places we may use a guide, for safety and for information. However, we usually walk alone, just us and the map and our sense of direction. There are few feelings better than sinking that rewarding beer at the end of a long day walking thinking back over all that you’ve seen. Quaint villages, fabulous views, village bars, classic buildings, you will see it all, the rewards are endless.

Petra: A Day Of Wonder
The intrigue of Petra starts way before you visit, the story of its creation and existence matched by the romance of its re-discovery from its true status as a Lost City. Built by the Nabataean people around 2,600 years ago, this city of 30,000 people, built into and from the surrounding mountains and outcrops, must have been one of the World’s most thriving metropoles of those ancient times. A city full of major sites built into the rock faces, colossal facades and tomb structures; so-called “high places”, places of worship and sacrifice way above the ground; entire streets of frontages hewn into the vertical rock; ornate carvings on impossibly grand…
