I love hiking! It is my favorite form of exercise. Do you hike often?
Yes i do, i love hiking! Funny enough, in New Zealand a long, vigorous walk or hike is called tramping 
Do you see a lot of wildlife when you hike?
Yes i do, i love wildlife! in the UK and Ireland, the word walking is acceptable to describe all forms of walking !
Fascinating. I wonder if they walk a lot in Ireland?
I'm sure they do :) A day hike refers to a hike that can be completed in a single day
