Adventures and Misadventures on the Long Trails of the World

The Long Ways crew at the end of the West Highland Way

Who are we?

We’re a hiking trio out to hike the great long trails of the world, from the Julian Alps of Slovenia to the highlands of Scotland and the Anatolian coast of Turkey.

On The Long Ways, we’re bringing to you the best stories and moments of curiosity from the trail. What is it like to walk through ancient Greek and Roman history along the Lycian Way, or spend the night atop the highest mountain in Slovenia? Follow us to find out!

We’re also here to inspire you to hike a Long Ways trail of your own. Our monthly Substack and Podcast includes tips for planning your own Long Ways hike, advice learned from years of our own mistakes, and more.

The Long Ways Podcast

Substack

Our Substack takes a deeper look at the moments of curiosity that come from the trail. Why is there a South Pole themed bar in a small town in Dingle, Ireland? What is behind the storks of Portugal nesting atop pillars of rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? And what is the history of the ruins of Olympia that we walked through along the Lycian Way of Turkey?

We’re not here to overwhelm your inbox! Once a month, we’ll bring you a story from the trail, advice for hiking the trail in question, and our latest podcast. Subscribe now!
