I love going for hikes whenever I have free time.
I enjoy it too. Hiking refers to long walks on trails or in the country. Walks refer the shorter urban walks. I like both
Yea nature walks on trails are relaxing, but hikes are grindy and fun.
I find it interesting in the U.K. and Republic of Ireland walking refers to any type of walking at all.
That is funny. Maybe because hiking and nature walking are both normal in a person's life so the word is no different.
I like your thought on that. I think my favorite term for hiking comes from New Zealand, they call hiking, tramping.
Interesting, I have never heard of that word. Sounds like a harsh word which might translate to harsh hikes.
Quite possible! I've only ever went on day hikes that were completed in a single day. I think I'd like to try for a longer one someday
