In between guidebook writing, this summer I've been lucky to
be involved in a new TV series for Arte called 'Wanderlust'. The films follow me
as I hike a selection of Europe's best long-distance hiking trails, stopping en
route to explore local history, learn about regional foods and chat with people
I meet along the trail.
The series consists of ten 45-minute films and so far we've filmed five;
* The GR221 'Dry Stone Route' in Mallorca's Tramuntana Mountains
* On the trail of Robert Louis Stephenson in the French Cevennes
* The little-known Saar Hunsruck Steig in south-western Germany
* Along part of the wild South-West Coast Path in Cornwall
* Mountain and coastal sections of the E4 in sunny Crete.
The aim is to give a portrait of some of Europe's most interesting micro-regions by walking its most beautiful hiking trails.

We have another five films scheduled for next year, with broadcast on Arte in late 2014 or early 2015. We'll keep you posted!
