Hiking is what they call it in North America, but in Britain they call it walking.
I'm British and yes we do call it walking - however some people call it climbing.
That's interesting! Sometimes it used to be called rambling, hillwalking, or fell walking.
A popular type of holiday related to this is called a "Walking Holiday", where Brits will go to a destination such as Tyrol purely with the idea of walking to explore their chosen location.
Oh that's pretty cool. We should do that here. In Australia they call it bushwalking and have a Sydney Bush Walkers Club.
That's awesome! I would like to go on a walk there.. but I'd definitely need a tour guide as I'm deathly afraid of spiders and snakes.
Yeah me too! They're scary! In New Zealand it's called tramping, but that means something totally different in the US. lol
Haha! Tramping in the UK probably means the same as in the US. New Zealand would be a cool place to go 'Tramping', Lord of the Rings was partly filmed there!
I love The Hobbit! Well I love anything directed by Peter Jackson.
I agree.. He directs some great movies - and they are always filmed in locations with awesome scenery.
