Reginald Spittle

Reg Spittle and his wife Sue raised three sons in the shadow of Yosemite National Park, regularly exploring its many trails. As an educator, he won a Fulbright teaching exchange in Scotland and taught political science in California. He was a journalist at five newspapers. An avid traveler, he had no idea retirement would present him with even greater life challenges. Reg and Sue live in Ashland, Oregon. Reg's first book, Camino Sunrise: Walking With My Shadows, takes readers along on his and Sue's first trek, the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage across Spain. His second book, Trippin' Through My 60s, follows Reg and Sue on four European trails: Scotland's West Highland Way, the Alps' Tour du Mont Blanc, Italy's Way of St. Francis, and England's South West Coast Path. They were just getting warmed up. Reg and Sue threw caution to the wind and plunged into California's Sierra Nevada wilderness for 30 days when they walked the John Muir Trail. You can go along in his third book, Hoofin' It on the John Muir Trail. Reg and Sue completed their eighth adventure trek in 2023, a 500-miler, the French Camino, or the Le Puy Route. Stay tuned; they plan two more treks in 2025, the Via Francigena in Italy, and England's Cotswold Way. Reg sends along his deep appreciation for your interest in his adventures.
