About
Dori is a long-distance hiker and content creator behind Dori's Hiking Adventures and the website My Hiking Adventures. Readers can explore multi-day walking journeys alongside practical resources for choosing trails, planning accommodation and deciding what to carry. Her website connects directly to the channel, bringing her hiking accounts and planning material together.
How Dori's hiking adventures began
On her About page, Dori describes an impulsive seven-day walk on Scotland's West Highland Way as the start of her long-distance hiking. She says she has since completed multi-day hikes in several countries. Her reason for starting the website was practical: helping beginners avoid buying unsuitable gear. She explains that equipment can be expensive, and unnecessary purchases add weight when everything has to be carried on your back.
Trail guides that support the planning
My Hiking Adventures presents trail guides, accommodation information, GPX files and maps as core planning resources. Its trail navigation spans Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Luxembourg. The useful emphasis is on the decisions behind a multi-day walk, not just the destination: how to reach a trail, where to sleep and how to divide the route into manageable stages.
Scotland and the Pennine Way
The West Highland Way guide combines route sections with transport, accommodation, resupply and water information. Dori's personal account records her third completion of the trail, including her enjoyment of the Loch Lomond section. That is a milestone in the published account, rather than a claim about a recent trip.
Her Pennine Way guide links to videos documenting her journey and discusses transport connections, accommodation and itinerary choices. She personally suggests allowing 18 to 20 days rather than treating the route's 16 sections as an easy 16-day schedule. A linked Lighterpack list records the equipment she took, with weights and further information, giving readers a concrete packing example to examine.
A six-day Cape to Cape itinerary
The Cape to Cape Track guide covers Western Australia's coastal walk between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin. It describes beach, forest, sandy and rocky terrain, and provides a six-day itinerary with distances for each stage. Those stages range from 10.5 to 29.6 kilometres, making the differences in daily walking distance clear rather than presenting every day as equivalent.
Gear choices, electronics and safety
Dori presents her gear lists and reviews as recommendations based on her own experience. The Hiking Tips & Tricks page includes guidance on choosing a power bank for long-distance hiking, individual power-bank reviews, lightweight gear lists and recommendations for personal locator beacons. It also lists a hiking-drone article labelled 2023, which should be read as dated material rather than a current product roundup.
Learning through the Hiking Academy
The site's Hiking Academy brings together step-by-step guidance on planning, packing, preparation and safety. It lists videos, e-books and recommended books among its learning materials. Alongside the journey accounts, these resources give readers a way to move from watching a hike to working through the practical questions involved in preparing their own.
