I like to go on hikes sometimes, it's very relaxing. Do you ever hike?
Yes I do. It's really great exercise. But I found out people in Ireland called any type of walking "hiking" which I find pretty funny.
That is pretty weird, I think they call hiking something else in New Zealand too.
In the UK they call it hillwalking, fell walking or rambling.
Hillwalking just sounds so silly. Do you ever do overnight hikes? I guess you could also call it camping really.
I would imagine that would be a little scary, but I'd love to try sometimes. Hiking in general has numerous health benefits.
It's great for improving your cardio, and it's just relaxing to be out in nature. You do have to be aware of bears and such though.
That's true. The most difficult thing would be a day walk, which would last all day.
That would be pretty exhausting I imagine. It seems kind of fun though, almost like a marathon of hiking.
It would be even worse hiking in the mountains. In the UK, it's called hillwalking. That would be exhausting.
