Proposed commission: “My first long walk”

What we want: a first-person account (800–1,200 words) of a multi-day walk or trek you actually took: the route, what you packed and wished you hadn't, who helped you on the way, and one moment you would take back with you.

What we need from you: a true story; photographs you took, with permission from any people shown; and a short trip recap with dates, route, cost (with currency and date), the guide or agency you used and one thing you wish you had known.

Rights: you keep your copyright; we ask permission to publish and archive with credit, and we will show you the edited text first. Please do not send invented or composite stories.
