We would miss the scenery Taw, how about scrambler bikes or those power quad things? That way we can catch up <i>and </i> get the views too!

Yep, love it. I´m off to Capel Curig, near Snowdonia for a weekend in a couple of weeks time if all goes to plan. I don´t do multiday hikes very often since I don´t have a tent that´s very good for hiking with so I either sleep rough or bivvy if I can during the summer. That looks like a fun hike, plenty of nice views along the way and hopefully decent weather too. Have fun!

You´d struggle a bit with a car, or anything with wheels actually, cept a bisycle maybe...you have to cross two rivers I think. But I´ll take lots of photos and then you can enjoy the scenery to! Rec, they actually provide huts to live in, most hiking trails I´ve looked at do, but I guess it can´t be too bad doing without them. As for the weather, it is summer here in December, so it will probably be very hot during the day and cold at night. I can´t wait though <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> -make ´em bleed-

Good shoes, a hiking stick, a water bottle and a light day pack and you set off. That is fun. I miss it though. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=´http://www.nwhiker.com/jpgimages/ARWKH1L.jpg ´> Edited by - Bear on 10/1/2005 10:13:42 AM

Oooh, I love to hike! I hike on mostly long term stuff, like 6+ days, 70+ miles. I hike in the Colorado Rockies, areas of New Mexico, Yosimite and Redwood National Parks in California, and a lot of stuff in my home state of Arizona. Great fun, great scenery, and a great time altogether! (Especially if you bring friends. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>)

quad bikes.. now there´s a fun way to enjoy the countryside <i>and </i> not expend any effort in doing so! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

ww2jacob...ooh you´re making me jealous!!! Taw...well the whole idea is to actually walk, because walking is fun...even if you feel like you´re going to die if you don´t reach the top of the hill/mountain/whatever <b>now </b> but OK, I guess not everyone will like walking...

Anyone ever hiked the pacific crest trail? tis a very VERY long trail.
-
I´ll wait for everybody to show up at the bar at trail´s end. Thank you. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Ed, what does *walking is fun* mean? doesn´t PW mean *driving while other people walk is fun* <img src=smilies/icon_smile_question.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
-
no I do mean walking is fun...sometimes...most definitely if its hiking <--yes I know that doesnt really make sense...but yea well

Walking is fun. Sunshine, fresh air. It´s as close to exercise I will ever get. The stone Mountain walk, my favorite, from beginning to end is a little over 8 miles and is very nice. Beautiful view and peace and quiet. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Kind of like this guy - <img src=´http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/Nakdimon/Mountain.jpg ´>

Chips...pah Phoenix...much easier to drive by road...beesides..I´ll make sure, but I dont think any kind of vehicle can do that trail...

Only hike I ever did was the Bondi-Coogee walk in Sydney <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

"driving through huge puddles of mud and cow dung whilst the walkers are walking past is fun..." yes it is, especially if it´s raining and they´ve stopped to consult a map. in fact i once turned round and went back and splashed them again! true Taw story - this week I went hiking myself. I was somewhat conned into it though. here´s how. Wednesday mornings I usually go the pictures with the MiL, she gets 1/2 price for both of us being in her 60s. This Wenesday just gone, she rang me up and said she didn´t want to go because it looked like a film she wasn´t interested in. Ok says I. She then asks me if i´d liek to do something else. Like what? says I. How do you like the sound of going for a hike and then to a pub for lunch? she asks. Not very much, I reply, I´d rather just go for the lunch thx! The she tells me that someone else wants to go and would I mind coming along with her tp keep her company? Hoho! I cried, now I see what you want you old strumpet, i´m to be your chaperone am I? much merriment on my part follows but she insists thats not the case.... ..she wanted me to go to push his <i>wheelchair </i> - yes, i spent Wednesday morning ankle-deep in mud pushing a disabled man round a lake. dee-light-ful.

Now that should have been fun to see...

yeah SW,it´d be easier...but nowhere near as much fun..off-road is so much fun it´s silly <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
