Trekking Walking
5. William Wordsworth
Average time spent on a trekking holiday?:Â A Sabbatical Year
If ever there were a peculiarly English dedication to rambling, it was embodied in the life of William Wordsworth. Famously living in Grasmere in the heart of the Lake District, he would compose poetry and prose while hiking the north of England alongside intimate contemporary S.T.Coleridge. He famously spent his twentieth year on a grand European holiday, walking extensively throughout the alpine regions and crossing the Simplon Pass.
4. Bilbo Baggins
Average time spent on a trekking holiday?: One Adventurous Year Â
Though an extremely unwilling rambler, Bilbo can be said to be one of the most accomplished in literature. Despite his diminutive size, mild manner and perennial hunger for home comforts he travels far from his verdant homeland to the dark forest of Mirkwood, the land of the Elves and on to the Lonely Mountain; spending much of this time separated from his companions. A tremendous achievement for any Hobbit, and an adventure that lays the foundation for the trials of his adopted ward Frodo in The Lord of the Rings.
3. Grendel
Average time spent on a trekking holiday?:Â Â Unknown
"...from the moorland, by misty crags, with God's wrath laden, Grendel came"... Though very little is revealed of Grendel in the classic Beowulf, we are told that both he and his mother are descendents of Cain, who himself was cursed to wander the world in repentance for the murder of his brother Abel. Presumably the monstrous Grendel shares the same fate, and so who could put a figure on the extent of his travels? What we can be certain of is that he would make an extremely poor partner for a walking holiday.
2. Charles Darwin
Average time spent on a trekking holiday?:Â Â Five Revelatory Years
The voyage of the Beagle, immortalised in the text of the same name, lasted five years from 1831 to 1836. While Captain Fitzroy and the vessel spent the majority of that period mapping coastlines, Darwin, who was serving as a naturalist to the expedition, spent much of his time on land observing and categorising creatures from all across the Southern Hemisphere. As one might expect this was far from a holiday, walking great distances being a daily task. From these years of diligent labour was born the theory of evolution and a sea change in the philosophical history of Man.
1. Ranulph Fiennes
Average time spent on a trekking holiday?: One Week to Three Years
Among this remarkable man's achievements are; travelling up the length of the white Nile by hovercraft, running seven marathons in seven days on seven continents, and travelling from one pole of the earth to the other by land. He has also taken part in various expeditions to climb Everest and several solo and unsupported attempts to reach the poles. Familiar with every one of the harshest environments on the planet, there can be few people in history that have seen so much or travelled so far.

Is there anything to do on Reunion island if you're not into sports?
I'm not into extreme sports, surfing, or hours of trekking. Is there anything to do? Cultural things perhaps? Nice beaches for swimming/walking?
Not as well-known as nearby Mauritius or the not-so-far-away British Seychelles, little Reunion seems but a speck in the vast ocean, dwarfed by Madagascar, located 500 miles to the west. The French know the island well but only the very well-traveled have ever stepped foot on Reunion's varied and enticing terrain.
If you’re not into sports, but into dining, St-Denis has the best restaurant scene on the island. Reunion’s cuisine, in general, is quite diverse, not unlike its population. In the capital city, restaurants run the gamut, from traditional Creole food to Indo-Muslim cuisine to Chinese specialties. You’ll find formal sit-down establishments, casual bistros, and places to grab a quick bite on the run. Don’t forget to try the “cari”, unique to the Indian Ocean islands, and made with meat, poultry, fish or seafood and containing garlic, onion, lots of tomatoes, turmeric, clove and ginger. Yum!
The Creole architecture in the town of Hell-bourg is stunning. Many visitors spend the majority of their time here strolling through town, touring and photographing these splendid homes and public buildings and the beautiful gardens that often grace the front yards. Hungry guests can also find a handful of restaurants here, serving local Creole cuisine at its finest.
If you’re a trekker that prefers the higher altitudes, you’ll love it, or else...
