Adventure gets sold to us as faster, harder, higher. In this week's Tracy chats with Lynne Nieman, founder of Wander Your Way and Wander Your Way Adventures, about soft adventure travel in Europe and why gentle can be the most memorable way to explore.

• What soft adventure means and what it avoids
• Why Europe's countryside and small towns make travel feel more connected
• Simple ways to add a short walk to a city-based itinerary
• Using local tourism boards and information centres to find easy routes
• AllTrails and helpful keywords such as family walks and discovery walks
• Soft adventure spots that surprise people, from England's footpaths to accessible Dolomites trails
• What to carry for gentle walks, including water, rain jacket, phone, map photo and charger
• How small group tours reduce planning stress and add local guiding, meals and logistics
• Lynne's Hadrian's Wall walking tour coming in 2027
