Overseas

Summary

We all know Australia is the place for bushwalking... New Zealand has some good tracks too... but surprisingly the rest of the world has some places worth visiting too! (imaging that!)

This is the place to share walks from outside of Australia/New Zealand.

Popular Walks

Walks in Albania

Medium
480 km one-way

Via Egnatia

This a walk that follows, where possible, the ancient roman road, the Via Egnatia, from Durres in Albania to Thessaloniki in Greece. I only walked sections, in Albania and Northern Macedonia. The highlights of the walk are spending several days walking on the remains of the Roman road, which are well preserved in one mountainous section of the walk, walking along the shores of Lake Ohrid and walking over the mountains from Ohrid to Resen.

Walks in Antarctica

Cape Armitage Loop

From McMurdo Station walk along road to Scott Base and then out onto the sea-ice and return to McMurdo Station. Once again, just sharing this walk that I did whilst working in Antarctica. I know that it is not accessible to everyone.

Castle Rock Loop

I worked for the Australian Antarctic Division in 2009/10 and undertook this walk whilst transiting through the US base, McMurdo Station, on route to Casey Station. We were not given permission to do the full loop and walked half way and returned. I just wanted to share although I know that it is not accessible to everyone.
