Croeso. Welcome. Bem-vindo

I’m Tracy, a Welsh hiker and author, and I’m really happy you’ve found my website.

I’ve been blogging about hiking and running for well over a decade, first about our outdoor adventures in Wales and more recently about the Algarve, where we moved in 2018.

This year, I’ve also dipped my toe into fiction writing. I’ve finished my first novel Run Free and the second is underway. There are also several screenplays in various stages of development.

From now on, I’ll be writing about hiking and writing. I hope to be able to combine both passions on this website. Whether I’m hiking the Algarve’s trails, exploring the Alentejo or trying to determine what my character would do next, I hope to capture and share my enthusiasm for whatever I’m doing.

On this website, you’ll find two main sections:

Hiking and trails

Follow me as I share my hiking experiences and favorite trails. I’ve written about hiking through Wales, walking the Via Algarviana and the Fishermen’s Trail and I’m working on a directory of PR routes in the Algarve and the Alentejo.

Writing and stories

As a new(ish) author, I’ll be sharing insights into my writing process, providing updates on my latest projects and, most exciting of all, interviews with other authors.

I invite you to join me in both worlds – whether it’s the exhilaration of discovering new trails or exploring new creative projects.

So, if you enjoy hiking or writing – or, like me, hiking and writing – why not stick around for a while so we can get to know each other.

Tracy
