Hiking

So I really hate exercising but I'm down for a nice hike in the middle of no where. Not that I actually ever do that because I'm a lazy fuck. Maybe I'll do one this weekend. Anyone else with me?

 

Do you live near any sort of country side or woods? They're usually popular places to go if you have any.

 

Yea. There is like 9000 places I could go. If my girlfriend ever had a day off and would let me drag her out I would go more often. There's this one place that I went to on a school trip and it sounds really cool. Might bring the dog.

Haha

Looks like a nice place, any idea how long it is?

 

There are a bunch of trails that connect it. The longest I see listed is 9.8 mi.

Keen on hiking myself. I used to do it every other weekend. Scotland is ideal for outdoorsy stuff like that. Longest I've done is 27 mile walk, set up tent, 27 back the next day.

Some really good lochs for kayaking and such as well.

The longest footpath for walking in Scotland is 96 miles long, the "West Highland Way". I really want to walk that sometime: http://www.west-highland-way.co.uk/ww_galleries.asp .

 

I love that there are no trees and everything is so brown. So depressing.

Edit: Our longest in the US is "The Great Western Loop". It is 6,875 miles long and only has been finished by one person.

 

Ehh, just that particular area Updated post above, have a look at the galleries

 

I've done some hiking at Yellowstone too. That is really fun. The elevation really kills though (literally if you are not careful).

 

Farthest hike i did was a 20 mile hike some years ago

 

I'm too lazy, but when I go on holiday/somewhere quiet for the weekend, I love to walk around and explore

 

Did some hiking up in the mountains in Colorado. Love that place!

 

I'm going to at least go on a short hike tomorrow. I'll take some pictures or something.

 

I dont really go out of my way to hike, but my favorite fishing hole is about 3 miles from anywhere a truck can go. Ive walked ungodly distances to fish. I live pretty close to a statepark I occasionally walk with my girlfriend. But its 100+ degrees outchea

 

We used to train @ a park that had about 10 miles of trails in the woods when I used to compete in XC/Track, here's a pic of it.



The entire trail system/park is just stunning, and running there was much less monotonous than roads. Sucked to twist your ankle though.

 

So my hike may have killed me. I took a bunch of pictures and will post them later.

 

So it was like a 10 mile hike over two mountains. Here's some pictures:

Did some fell running on one of Scotland's many islands.

13 miles, 1200m ascent = just over 3 hours in the heat

Spoiler: Pictures

 

As long as there is beautiful wild life..I bet its real fun to hike.

 

Did a 6.5 mile hike Saturday morning. Took 3ish hours. Wasn't the best place I've been but was still fun. I want to go back and summit the same mountain again but go down the other side.
