Wrapping Up 5.5 Years of Walking in Britain

18th June 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

5.5 Years of Walking in Britain

Just over 5.5 years ago, in November 2010, I moved to the UK in search of a more outdoors-oriented life than what I had previously in Israel.

Knowing When To Stop

26th March 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

Knowing when to stop sometimes depends on the potential camp
