Great post- one of my favourites! I enjoy seasonally-inspired hikes, too - countryside England is great in most of three seasons, but winter means city hikes - and there’s nothing like the Christmas season to bring out the best colours, festivities and, well, tat!
Good tips! For some reason it reminded me of all the times I've accidentally urban hiked without a plan. In my family we call them "death marches" but they're usually more good than bad. But we don't talk about Busan.
Just wanted to piggyback on your "wrapping up for the year" vibe and say that I had rich and memorable trips to Providence (new spots in an old fave, 24k steps...) and Vinalhaven (lifelong intention to visit, pushed over the finish line with your logistic info) this year because of your newsletter and I really value it.
