Discover the Story of BaldHiker
BaldHiker, founded by Paul Steele back in 2010, started off as a personal travel and hiking blog, sharing his walks and views from his travels around the world.
Before too long he was sharing not only walks and travel articles but also reviewing the accommodation, gear he was trying as well as cooking up some recipes.
Over the years, the site has grown into a vibrant, active community. Paul has made friends all over the world, and many have joined him, sharing their stories and photos on these pages. Zoe has now joined Paul in making BaldHiker a place for good for the community. Bringing her love of nature and expertise in art to help create experiences for those who need to escape to nature and free their mind.
BaldHiker and Zoe now run special wellness retreats and wellness walks that people can come along and enjoy. It is always a joy to meet a lot of the BaldHiker readers and join them in the great outdoors.
Learn more about Paul
Paul Steele joined the army at 16 and served for 17 years. Upon leaving the service he picked up his love for all things adventure and the outdoors, climbing and hiking all over Britain and around the world including well known high altitude mountains.
His love of sharing stories, history and first person pictures on his travels helped to create BaldHiker and the wealth of articles both here and around the web.
Hiking and the outdoors has helped Paul through many traumatic points in his life and now he takes his vast knowledge and expertise to help people who need a wellbeing walk or escapism retreat themselves.
