Kings of the Trail #030
Life is fast, hectic and noisy…it can be unpredictable and often seems to rush at you from all angles. This makes it all the more imperative to take a step back, slow down and reconnect with the natural world at a more sedate pace, allowing you to fully observe and enjoy it…
“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a big fan of speed on the trails, whether on feet or wheels, but I also love a chance to slow it down, soak in and really connect with my surroundings – the environment, weather and landscape.

Each week I update the Kings of the Trail playlist with a new selection – just like trail runs or hikes, you can be sure that it will be a varied and eclectic journey, but hopefully, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
To be honest, it’s a minor miracle that I haven’t included a Prince song here before now, I think I could use on each week, but have been refrained! However, this jam, Strollin’, seems pretty perfect for this week. “Let’s forget about the time, Let’s relax and ease our minds” – just what hiking is all about.
