Hi All

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you all: I’ve created a Trail Journal that’s now available for purchase on Amazon!

As someone who’s spent many hours wandering through forests, clawing my way up mountains, and soaking in the beauty of the outdoors, I know how special those moments on the trail are. I love sharing my adventures but not everything makes it to the blog. Not everything needs to be online!

This journal is designed to help you capture every step, sight, and story from your adventures in a tangible, meaningful way.

In a world where we’re constantly sharing our lives on screens, there’s something deeply satisfying about putting pen to paper. This trail journal is your space to unplug, reflect, and preserve the magic of your hikes in a way that no app or social media post can. It’s about savoring the experience, not just broadcasting it.

What’s Inside the Trail Journal?

This journal is made specifically for hikers, trekkers, and nature lovers like you. Here’s what makes it special:

• Organized Index: Keep track of your hikes with a front index where you can log trail names and entry numbers for quick reference.

• Two-Page Log Spreads: Each entry gives you a left page for jotting down trail stats, logistics, and practical notes, and a right page for your reflections, sketches, wildlife encounters, and a special spot to note what you loved most about the hike.

• Trail Safety Tips: The back of the journal includes practical advice to help you stay safe and make the most of your outdoor experiences.

• Spacious & Flexible: With over 100 pages, there’s plenty of room to document your journeys, whether you’re tackling rugged backcountry trails or strolling serene paths.

This journal is more than just a place to write—it’s a keepsake for your adventures, a way to hold onto the sights, sounds, and feelings of the trail long after you’ve returned home. It’s simple by design, giving your the flexibility to express yourself.

Note: The pictures are from the proof copy and I made some small updates since then (small things like removing a double line etc).

Why Offline Matters

As much as I love connecting with you all here on Solohiker.blog, I believe there’s something powerful about stepping away from the digital world. On the trail, it’s just you, the earth, and the stories you create. Writing in this journal lets you process those moments without the pressure to post, like, or share. It’s a chance to slow down, reflect, and truly connect with your experiences.

Whether you’re sketching a stunning vista, noting the call of a bird you’ve never heard before, or scribbling down how it felt to conquer a tough climb, this journal is your space to make those memories last. Plus, years from now, you’ll have a physical record to flip through—a time capsule of your adventures that no cloud storage can replace.

I should declare that I used AI to assist with this post, as I am lousy at marketing.

An extra note whilst I’m promoting:

I also created a beginner course for Microsoft Excel called “Excel Work Essentials”. If you are interested in learning the fundamentals, I have put 25 years of experience into creating this course to provide work ready skills.
