Hi, I enjoy hiking when the weather is nice.
Me too, there are some great spots where I live to hike. I find it to be a really relaxing form of exercise, and studies suggest that any kind of walking, and definitely hiking, has health benefits.
Yea I also like long hikes as it is exercise and you get to see beautiful scenery 
It would hard to motivate myself if it wasn't for the scenery probably. I work with someone from New Zealand and we were talking about hiking, apparently over there they call intense hiking "tramping."
Oh wow, I did not know that. Do you know if hiking is popular in New Zealand?
I think it is because they have so much rough terrain to walk across. I guess it would be closer to what we call backpacking rather than hiking.
I live in B.C, Canada where we are surrounded by mountains and pretty lakes once you reach the center of them.
Oh wow that sounds lovely, I wish I had something like that where I was.
