Walking in Circles is all about getting outdoors, taking on challenges and having adventures on foot. I share walking routes, hiking guides, challenge training advice and stories from my own adventures — from UK trails and London walks to trekking in Nepal.

You’ll also find downloadable guides, live guided walks, private and corporate walking challenges, and plenty of practical advice to help you plan your own adventures.

Walking in Circles was created by me, Marc Jerrard. I’m a keen hiker, challenge walker, author and occasional mountain obsessive, fitting my adventures around a normal full-time career.

What started as a way of sharing my walks and experiences has grown into Walking in Circles UK — with hiking resources, challenge advice, guided walks and stories from adventures in the UK and further afield.

You’ll find walking routes, trail guides and ideas for your next adventure throughout the Walking in Circles website. These include UK hikes and long-distance walks, London adventures and practical guides based on routes I’ve walked myself.

Head to the Hiking Guides section to explore the latest routes and guides.

The Challenge Zone is designed to help you find your next walking challenge and prepare for it. It includes an extensive list of UK and international hiking challenges, alongside practical training advice for marathon-distance walks, 50km challenges and 100km ultra challenges.

You’ll also find advice on training, kit, fuelling, pacing and what to expect on the day — much of it based on my own experience of taking on long-distance walking challenges.

The right kit can make a huge difference to how comfortable and enjoyable a walk or challenge is. I’ve put together recommendations based on the type of clothing, footwear and equipment I use for my own hikes, long-distance challenges and trekking adventures.
