Kaikoma is a classic mountain climbed regarded as one of the most difficult in terms of ascent (about 2000m vert) the loop down to Hinata , first it requires a steep descent towards Nokogiri. There is a junction on the ridge line which leads to Eboshi.. here the trail is not that well marked but if one continues past this peak there are signs of a trail down towards Hinata and the completion of the loop. There is no water available after Kaikoma, so hikers/runners should bring enough.

This is one of the more popular loops in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. On some signs you will see it referred to simply as the West Loop. It roughly follows Jones Creek on the north and Paddock Creek on the south. As you leave the Little Missouri River you gradually ascend, passing incredible badlands formations in the sandstone, siltstone, mudstone and clay. In places the trail passes directly through prairie dog towns. You will also likely see wild horses, bison and mule deer.

This is a 220 mile loop around historic Wessex, the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Alfred the Great. The route starts and ends in Winchester where Alfred is buried, and connects iconic monuments including Stonehenge, Avebury stone circle, Iron Age hill forts, Farnham Castle, and Winchester and Salisbury Cathedrals.

The route is circular, so can be started at any point, but a good starting point is Rochford square, (where car parking is available).

The route takes in the coastal margins along the rivers Roach and Crouch, including a number of wildlife preserves, before then heading inland through the ancient woodland in Hockley.  The route also takes in a number of small villages and their associated churches, allowing for a mixture of South Essex histories to explored.
