Hiking Holidays: Wilderness survival
There are two sports, if you can call them that, that have always fascinated me and intrigued me. Those sports are hiking and climbing. I have never quite understood how to try them, how to learn them or just if they would appeal to me (of if I would be any good at them) but they have certainly always intrigued me, especially the promise of holidays based on those two sports, especially hiking.
Instead of normal travel destinations these holidays demand very specific locations. Instead of looking for amazing cultural locations you’re looking for the highest peaks, instead of looking at sandy beaches you’re looking at the most dangerous cliff faces to test yourself. Instead of the relaxation and tans of the typical holiday; you’re looking for the cold, the heights and the challenge. Climbing and hiking, it seems, are not so much sports but more ways of life; changing our clothes, our ambitions and even our holidays.
