Trailman
Walking across Britain
Welcome to 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 zoomable OS maps and plenty of hints and tips about the logistics of trail walking.
What’s new
Two new guidebooks – the Forest Way and Three Forests Way. Both link Epping and Hainault Forests. The 3FW adds in Hainault Forest.
The Hewitts of Northern Snowdonia
The Lochaber and Great Glen section of my cross-Scotland walk.
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 – I’m adding another page roughly every week, so come back soon!
