Walking in Circles
Welcome to Walking in Circles
Helping ordinary people discover extraordinary adventures.
Hi, I'm Marc. I'm the author of Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes, creator of Walking in Circles, Hiking Blog of the Year 2025, and someone who believes the best adventures are the ones you never thought you'd do.
One conversation in a pub led me to Everest Base Camp.
Since then I've completed mountain treks in Nepal, organised guided walking events, written a book and won Hiking Blog of the Year.
It all started with saying yes to one walk.
Maybe your next adventure starts today.

Highly recommended reading!
“Such a beautifully written book with humour and intelligence and emotion. It captured the journey spiritually and physically… Great book and captured the journey exquisitely.”

A beautiful, emotional trip down memory lane
“As the guy featured in these pages as ‘Mr. Hugs,’ I can safely say this perfectly captures what it felt like. It was so much more than just a journey to a rock with ‘5364’ written on it—it was a true experience of life discovery.”

My Mission
My Mission
At Walking in Circles, my mission is simple:
To inspire ordinary people to discover extraordinary adventures.
Whether it’s your first countryside walk, a charity challenge or the trek you’ve dreamed about for years, adventure is often far more accessible than you think.
Through honest stories, practical guides and real-life experiences, I want to give you the confidence to take that first step.
In January 2019, I did something incredibly ordinary.
I opened Google and typed three simple words:
"Hiking challenges UK."
I wasn't looking to climb mountains.
I wasn't planning to write a book.
I certainly wasn't imagining that, four years later, I'd be standing at Everest Base Camp, running my own hiking website, organising walking events, or calling many of the people I'd meet along the way some of my closest friends.
I was simply looking for a challenge.
