latest (previous) projects
We always share our thoughts on our next few trips. Here are some possibilities:
- In the fall of 2024, after finishing the TCT, Simon is likely joining some friends for a motorcycle adventure to Austin, Texas. The Formula 1 at the COTA (Circuit Of The Americas) is scheduled for October 16-18. He attended the MotoGP, the motorcycle Grand Prix, a few years ago. this will be fun...
- for 2025, to celebrate Simon's 65th birthday, we will likely hike two or three desert/high mountain trails in the Southwest (US) - the birthday boy's choice. Nothing is firm yet and it will depend on the outcome of the US election :o))

- The Colorado Trail is a continuous path from Denver to Durango. This 567 miles (~850km), of recreational trail passes through six National Forests and six Wilderness areas, traverses five major river systems, and penetrates eight of the State’s mountain ranges. The average elevation is well above 3,300m with the highest point at 4,100m. What makes The Colorado Trail unique is that it was developed with the efforts of thousands of volunteers, all interested in the conservation and recreational exploration of Colorado’s stunning mountainous areas.
3. If spending time in the US isn't our cup a tea (for whatever reason), we will likely explore the possibility of tackling another
long trail in Europe. These are the options:
long trail in Europe. These are the options:
- The GR34, also known as the Customs Officer's Path (le Sentier des Douaniers) is in Brittany, France. This is the most famous of the Grande Randonnée long-distance footpaths! It’s a route steeped in history, salt and sea spray. This is the preferred long-distance footpath of the French: welcome to the Customs Officers’ path! It snakes along the coastline of Brittany for over 2,000 km, from Mont-Saint-Michel to the bridge of Saint-Nazaire. Showing off its red and white markers, it offers anyone who walks it a large breath of fresh ocean air and stunning sea views. Select a section and let the charm behold you: you’ll soon be ready for another little section…
- The Penine Way (430km) in Britain."Walking the backbone of England from the Peak District to the Scottish border on Britain's first National Trail. Steeped in history and traversing spectacular landscapes, the iconic Pennine Way stretches for England’s wild northern uplands. The route follows England’s rocky spine from the hills of the Derbyshire Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales, through the stunning Swaledale Valley, across the North Pennines and over Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland to the Cheviot Hills, ending in the Scottish Borders in Kirk Yetholm.
