P addy Dillon just completed a long-distance trek along the GR131. It’s an island-hopping route through all seven of the Canary Islands - Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro - almost 350 miles. Conditions varied from semi- desert landscapes to awesome lava flows, with damp and misty ‘cloud forests’, stunning views from mountain summits above the ‘sea of clouds’, and handy towns and villages at intervals offering good food and drink. This comes hard on the heels of walks and treks around all nine of the Azores, as well as Madeira and Porto Santo. Expect to see lots of guidebooks!
