The Pen y Fan Horseshoe

Pen y Fan is the highest peak in South Wales (886m) and the crown jewel of the Brecon Beacons National Park. While thousands stream up the 'tourist path' from the Storey Arms every day, the true mountaineer's route is the Beacons Horseshoe starting from the Neuadd Reservoir. This challenging 10-mile (16km) circular route climbs steeply onto the Craig Fan Ddu ridge, walks the long, grassy skyline over four peaks—including the 'diving board' rock at Fan y Big, Cribyn, Pen y Fan itself, and Corn Du—before descending back to the valley. It provides magnificent 360-degree views over the sheer, glaciated northern faces of the peaks down into the emerald Welsh valleys.

The Thorsborne Trail is a 32km point-to-point trekking route along the eastern coastline of Hinchinbrook Island, within Girringun National Park, Queensland. Running between Ramsay Bay in the north and George Point in the south, the trail traverses a diverse tropical landscape of mangrove systems, granite headlands, and rainforest. Hinchinbrook is an uninhabited wilderness island, accessible only by organized boat transfers from the mainland hubs of Cardwell or Lucinda. The route follows the Hinchinbrook Channel side and the open Coral Sea, passing significant features like Zoe Falls and the granite peaks of Mount Bowen.
