Our top instagram recordings from 2021

Our top instagram recordings from 2021

From the throne of the Zeus to the largest glacier in the Alps-we share our best Instagram recordings from 2021

It is not surprising that traveling in 2021 turned out to be more, um, inland when we planned. After the disappointments of 2020 we had high hopes for 2021. Unfortunately, it turns out that pandemics are unpredictable. We managed to plan a few international trips, but they were definitely short-lived than long distances.

Therefore, our top instagram recordings from 2021 reflect this. Most are recordings from all over the UK, one or two from Europe, but everything was a look back at a time when we took travel for granted. We made a lot for 2022, but - just like last year - they will depend on circumstances that are largely outside of our control.

So now I wish you all a happy new year, thank you for following me and hope that you will accompany us for another year, both here and on Instagram.

Since international trips are still on ice, I spent most of January to put together an epic blog post about England 100 most popular hiking trails. This recording of Eskholme Pike near Calf Top, England's smallest mountain, was very popular with our followers.

Regardless of whether you are an experienced hiker who needs new ideas, or a beginner who hopes to be more outdoors, the list offers a wealth of hiking opportunities. The hiking trails cover sections of England's National Trails, long -distance hiking trails and national parks - the best natural spaces in the country.

When April came, the long winter in Great Britain in conjunction with another suffocating Lockdown demanded its toll. We dreamed of warmer realms, hence this inclusion of Whitehaven Beach in Queensland, Australia.

Whitehaven has been repeatedly voted one of the best beaches in the world. We visited her in 2018 and sailed from Airlie Beach via the Whitsunday Passage through the Hook Passage to Whitsunday Island. Whitehaven has not disappointed with white sandy beaches that wind around a bright blue sea like a dervish and deserves a place on our list of the best beaches that we have seen.

Another photo, inspired by another epic blog post, this time from the greatest hikes in the Lake District National Park.

England's Lake District houses some of the nation's most picturesque panoramas. The rugged combs, hidden mountain lakes and glittering lakes of the park have attracted hikers since the first "Lake Poets" by Wordsworth and Coleridge put their pen on paper in the 19th century.

Therefore, it would simply not do justice to choose 10 or 12 hikes. Instead, we have put together 100 wonderful hikes through the park belonging to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, in which England's highest mountain, the Pike Scafell, is located with 978 m (3,209 feet).

When the international travel restrictions were relaxed, I finally got on a plane and flew to Switzerland on behalf of the magazine Wired for Adventure, and, boy, it was good to be back in real mountains.

In just five days I visited four breathtaking regions of the Valais Alps. My travel route included the e-biking through the alpine forests of the Région Dents du Midi, the summit of the Dent de Nendaz, a rope slide through a gorge in Saas-Fee and the exploration of the UNESCO-protected large Aletsch Glacier in the eastern Bernese Alps. Phew.

In October, Kia and me finally managed to escape to Cyprus - our first journey together since December 2019. We wanted to do nothing other than eat, drink, read and sow in the sun. In the typical outdoor manner, however, we decided to go diving after two days of our trip.

As soon as we were in the water, we met two playful soup turtles: a great reward for so little effort. They dared to remarkably close and reminded us of the joy of seeing marine animals in their natural habitat.

The Highlander Olympus Trek in Greece, one of the latest additions to the Highlander Adventure collection, should start this year, but was postponed due to local locks. Therefore, I was invited to take part in a shortened three -day event on the mountain to explore the route and some of the highlights of the trail.

The highlight of the hike was the climbing of Olympus, the highest and the most legendary of all Greek mountains, also known as throne dios (throne of the Zeus). With dense atmospheric forests, deeply split gorges and an iconic summit ridge, the hike proved to be everything the myths suggest: magically.
