As I wrote last week, G and I are keen to do some more multi-day hiking/walking. We prefer options that you don’t have to camp, although my tolerance for a walk that requires camping or sharing a room is probably higher than G’s. I’ve been putting together a little list of walks we might like to tackle in the future.

• Camino de Santiago (Spain): These walks follow medieval pilgrimage routes from various parts of Europe to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Stay in villages, either in pilgrim hostels, guest houses or hotels. We are booked to do a highlights tour on the Camino Frances in October. We will have nine days of walking, with four days using trains in the middle section. We’ve opted to have luggage transfer for this walk.
• Tour du Mount Blanc (France, Switzerland, Italy): Circles Mont Blanc. Stay in huts, refuges or small hotels. G is very keen to do this.
• West Highland Way (UK): Walk through the Scottish Highlands from Glasgow to Fort William. Stay in villages with various accommodations.
• Milford Track and Routeburn Track (NZ): We’re looking at doing this through a company that does these two walks combined, staying in private huts.
• Great Ocean Walk (Victoria, Australia): This is only a few hours from us. We’re looking at doing this next year, staying at accommodation that provides transport for each day. So we would drive to the end point of the day’s walk, and then they would pick us up from there and drop us off at the start of the walk. You can also camp on the trail if that’s your thing.
• Coast to Coast (UK): walk from the east coast to the west coast. The trail passes through three National Parks. Stay in village accommodation.
• Inca Trail (Peru): hike in the Andes to Machu Picchu.
• Kumano Kodo (Japan): follow ancient pilgrimage routes. Stay in traditional hotels or guesthouses.
• Maria Island (Tasmania, Australia): Four nights. Stay in a wilderness camp and a historic house.
• Dolomites (Italy): Lots of options. Mountain hiking, staying in refuges or hotels.

Have you done any of these walks? Do you keep of list of places and things you’d like to do or see? I like to keep a list of local sites, activities and restaurants to try as well.
