This went out to subscribers over the weekend – a post exploring old ways across the hills beside Lake Como.

‘It’s hard to imagine now, but, across cultures, walking was the default mode of transport for centuries – even into the age of steam and especially in rural areas.’

The Wayfarer’s Way

Walking on the Sentiero del Viandante in the footsteps of wayfarers, traders and smugglers is a reminder that journeying on foot was once part of everyday life.

Trekking Across Switzerland, Guided by Locals’ Hand-Drawn Maps

Nostalgic for a time before ubiquitous connectivity, a writer ditched his phone and relied instead on serendipity — and maps made by people he met along the way.

@breitensteinart I don't know of a specific word in English for the sort of deeply worn path shown in the photograph, but I was instantly reminded of a book by the marvellous Robert Macfarlane, on such a path. He titles the book "The Old Ways". Perhaps 'way' is the word I'm looking for, as in 'wayfaring'.
