Trailman

I’m Peter Aylmer, an experienced walker and outdoor writer. On this website I’m sharing 40 years of walking experience.

You’ll find day-by-day trail memories, from lowland walks to my own multi-day routes across each of the three nations.

And then aged 62 I learned to backpack, so it’s never too late!

Plus there are downloadable OS maps and plenty of hints and tips about the logistics of trail walking.

I’m also the author of the Cicerone guides to London and Essex. In January 2021 I launched my own series of Trailman guidebooks. You can buy the first, to the Stort Valley Way, here.

I’ve plenty more content to add – I’m expecting to add another trail every week till Easter, so come back soon!
