This former airfield is now a beautiful park clinging to the edge of the lake. There is even a beach right by it! We spent the day hiking around and enjoying a picnic in the sun and had a totally alternative but great day out in the "city"!

It's hard to believe you're in LA when you get lost on the hiking trails here! Really lovely place to go for an unusual day trip and you can let the kids off the leash to run off their energy too.

We took a day out from the city and headed up to the top of Crystal Mountain on the goldola for some fresh air and some hiking. We had a great day out, and would really recommend it!

I met up with a friend in Tokyo for a couple of days on a tour of Japan and he took me here to this moutain for a days' hiking. So pretty and totally unexpected, a world apart from the stereoypical Tokyo experience.

We went for an off-season hiking holiday in the Dalaman region and it was wonderful. Stunning scenery and hardly another person in sight the whole time. The solitude was so precious.

In the hills around Dalaman there are plenty of trails etc
