"You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


Due to our nomadic history as a species, slowly walking over the earth, spreading humanity to all corners of planet and discovering it’s rich and bountiful wonders, it is no surprise that we focus so much on steps…the phrases and quotes in the English language that mention steps is extremely extensive…’step up to the plate’, ‘every journey starts with one step’, ‘step aside’, ‘step down’, ‘one small step for man…’, get in your 10,000 daily steps!

Each week, I update the Kings of the Trail playlist with a new selection of music. Like trail runs or hikes, the playlist will be varied and eclectic, but hopefully, there will be something for everyone to enjoy…


Madness! What a band and what a top tune this is…so lively and upbeat, it’s a sure fire hit to play when your favourite team has just won or you want to get the party up and dancing. It is the “rockiest, rock steady beat of Madness” after all…
