Our aim is to create an overview of walking in Europe with information on long distance walking routes within and passing through each and eventually every European country.

As we build we will include information on accommodation for walkers, walking festivals, charity walks, outdoor equipment, outdoor equipment reviews, details of new products, where to buy outdoor gear on our retailers page, guide to maps and books for walkers, walking news and walking holidays.

If you have information on long distance walking routes in your area that you feel would be helpful to our readers please do not hesitate to contact us

Our walking adventures so far have allowed us to revisit sections of the Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast, the GR5, the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela and the Camino de Robert Louis Stephenson from Le Puy en Velay

We offer free listings on our Walking Festivals, Charity Walks and Where to Stay pages, the only obligation is a link back to us


The European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA)is delighted to announce that top Austrian climber, Hansjörg Auer , has agreed to become the association’s third ambassador.

 

From pure alpine roots, having been brought up in the mountains, Hansjörg now concentrates on sport and alpine climbing, with a number of incredible free solo ascents. These include in 2007 ‘Il Pesce’ (Weg durch den Fisch) - an awe inspiring 37 pitch slab on the south face of the Marmolada in the Italian Dolomites, and the first free ascent of ‘Hallucinogen Wall in Black Canyon,Colorado in 2011.

Joint General Manager of EOCA Tanya Bascombe said, “We are thrilled to welcome Hansjörg to the team. He is a dedicated and inspiring athlete, full of enthusiasm for life , yet also passionate about the impact that we have on the environment around us. He will be a great asset to the association and we look forward to working with him very much”.

Speaking from his home in Umhausen, as he prepares for his forthcoming expedition to tackle big walls on Baffin Island, Hansjörg said he was delighted with his new role, “I love the EOCA model. It is a neutral organisation, working together with the biggest outdoor brands to protect nature – somthing we all need to be proactive in doing. We have to think about the sustainability of what we are doing in our every day lives, and being part of EOCA is a massive step in the right direction.

Designed to harness the incredible power of the outdoor industry and to raise money to donate to grassroots conservation groups, the European Outdoor Conservation Association is funded by membership and other fundraising activities within the outdoor industry. 100% of membership fees go to the support of projects. Membership is open to anyone that can demonstrate an involvement in the outdoor industry.
