Self-guided 8-day West Highland Way Trek

This tour follows most of the 92-mile national long distance trail of the same name through the southwestern part of the Scottish Highlands.

The Appian Way: Via Francigena Rome to Formia

This road for centuries has been the backbone of the Roman road system in southern Italy and the gateway to its colonies in the southern and eastern Mediterranean. While born as a transport road for soldiers, merchants, and everybody else, in medieval times the road was used intensively by pilgrims travelling from Rome, the Holy City, to the Holy Land.
