Hiking is a recreational experience. As such, hikers expect it to be pleasant. Sometimes hikers can interfere with each others' enjoyment, or the enjoyment of other users of the land. Such interference can be minimized by hikers who follow good etiquette.

Hikers often seek beautiful environments in which to hike. Ironically, these environments are often fragile: hikers may accidentally destroy the environment that they enjoy.

My local hill, Pendle Hill is famous for its connection with the Pendle Witches. This wonderful whale-shaped hill is a major landmark, and though only 1800 ft or so high, offers some brisk uphill walking

One of my father’s favourite walks, and a nice Sunday morning walk ending by a drink in the pub or sandwich in the café at Malham. Its also a nice run on the motorbike.

A childhood walk to Roseberry Topping near Middlesborough, North Yorkshire |

A lovely beginners walk for children – I was taken by a neighbour of my aunt’s when she lived in Marton, near Middlesborough. You can’t miss Roseberry Topping –it’s the only hill in the area, rising like a little pimple from the flat land around it. Its not very high, but is enough challenge for young children or those out of condition folks that want to build up their stamina.
