replying to @DoroLef @DoroLef @TheTravelCamel @TravelAtWill My local river in Kent. It’s where I’ve been going regularly for the last 18 months to escape. It’s so peaceful and decent 10-15k walk. 😊 #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A2. Oh, I might’ve just answered it in Q1. 😂 but thankfully I live out in the countryside so plenty of walks/trails to enjoy. This is another favourite along the local banks which lead to a large lake and country park. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A3. Walking in the forest near Khao Lak, Thailand - we came across a massive nest of black widows. That was rather unexpected. I have no pictures tho, we didn’t hang about long enough. 😂 #TRLT

replying to @sl2016_sl @sl2016_sl @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 Heck no! I have also walked around in the forest near Khao Lak (who knows, maybe even the same one), had I known this - no way! Probably never again now that I know this. 😱😱😱

replying to @Touchse @Touchse @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 Also 3 species of venomous snakes in that forest…which I didn’t know until we got back to our van. I would NOT have gone in that forest otherwise! Snakes petrify me. 😳😳 #TRLT

replying to @sl2016_sl @sl2016_sl @Touchse @LindaPeters64 Being Australian, we have all of the most poisonous snakes. We learn to stay well away from those that are brown or black in colour. #TRLT

replying to @sl2016_sl @sl2016_sl @Touchse @LindaPeters64 I had a green one (harmless tree snake) in my bedroom once in Australia. My dad and I got it out and it quickly slithered up a tree. #TRLT

replying to @sl2016_sl @sl2016_sl @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 Black widow spiders love to nest in shoes. Put your shoes in sealed plastic bags at night if staying in accommodation where they might be found.

You’re on your own though with the following. :-) #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @postcardsplaces A5. Inca trail would be amazing but I’m definitely not fit enough for that! It would be incredible though. In the UK, I’d love to do Hadrians wall. #TRLT
