Have you ever been trekking?

Trekking in the Himalayas was so rewarding - with little tea shops and local farms/monasteries to stay in along the route. Just head for Nepal, hire a local guide and start walking.

Oh yes...I love it! When I go for longer walks, especially in more isolated areas, I'll always travel in a group (or at least with my husband), for safety. However, Í sometimes do shorter walks alone, especially if it's a safe area, and more people are around.

When I was younger I was much braver. At 18, I did half the Tasmanian overland trail (Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair) all be myself, with no problems. It was in the days before you had to book and register for the walk! Looking back, it was a pretty dangerous thing to do, though, as the weather there is so extreme and changeable.

I love trekking. I have been on trekking whilst in India with my friends.

I love trekking or hiking, however you call it :) My wife and I hike at least 2 to 3 times a week in spring, summer and fall. Unfortunately, there is too much snow to trek in winter.

I have gone, and I like to do it alone.
Hate having to keep up with others, I like to do it at my own pace.
Which is: Snail Pace :) I still get there in the end!

Yes. The best trekking I have done was in the south of France - the landscape was so unusual and unlike what I had expected with red ocre in places and flowing waterfalls in others.
