My first long distance hike was to Kala Patthar on the everest base camp trek when I was 16. I’ve been chasing that same feeling ever since — what Wainwright said of “a quiet place, a lonely place” and Nan Shepherd of the feeling of being “lifted on a mighty shelf, high above the world”.
Places: italian dolomites, zermatt and the bernese oberland, tour du mont blanc, yorkshire, the lakes, and scotland.
