Hugh Pope

I'm a writer and former foreign correspondent. I do a lot of walking, mainly in Belgium, where I normally live, and around The Lazy Olive villa, my mountain retreat in southern Turkey near Olympos.

The walks in Turkey are in the collection "One-day Lycian Way Hikes near Olympos, Turkey". Most can also be seen on this playlist on YouTube (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmevrAtIaRkw8RNQa2rkr80umOOC4tRbA).

My first Belgium collection will be The Brux-to-Lux Trail, another set of one-day hikes that take you all the way in one-day stages from Brussels to Luxembourg. (That is, I've arranged it so you can get back home by public transport each night, without sacrificing any of the natural beauties of the country). It's a wonderful experience that you will soon be able to read about on Substack here: thebruxtoluxtrail.substack.com
