Trailman
Walking across Britain
Welcome to Trailman
I’m Peter Aylmer, an experienced walker and outdoor writer. On this website I’m sharing nearly 50 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 zoomable OS maps and plenty of hints and tips about the logistics of trail walking.
What’s new
Two National Trails: the Yorkshire Wolds Way and the Speyside Way
Join my Essex Book Festival walk in June!
Walking the Broomway off the Essex coast, one of England’s most dangerous walks
I’m also the author of the Cicerone guides to London and Essex. In January 2021 I launched my own series of Trailman guidebooks. The first three – to the Stort Valley Way, Forest Way and Three Forests Way – are all available here now.
I’ve plenty more content to add from my archive – I’m adding two or three pages a month, so come back soon!
