I guess we got hiking Hello! :)
hey. you ever been hiking ?
I have bust mostly with the intention of camping.
where did you go hiking ? its conman in the uk and canda 
I have gone camping in Georgia in the united states. Some of the smaller mountains there offered me good beginner routes.
nice, ive been to new Zealand before which was a long walk. you enjoy it /
I would love to go hiking abroad, it sounds like a wonderful experience. Do you recommend any gear for hiking specifically? 
for a single day, basic food supplys a compass and a backup phone and map would do. its just about planning ahead
I do have a GPS unit would you recommend taking that over the map?
