Walks

So Redwallers, what walks have you been on? I went to a wood in the Peak District today that was just like Mossflower!

I often walk my dog around the block.

I also enjoy just walking with my headphones in and being lead wherever my feet take me. Normally it's along a river nearby. I like to sit up a tree and just listen to my music/audiobook. I go for one of these walks normally once a day. I really enjoy them.

Well, none really famous, but it's a dream of mine to walk the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea. I've done a few of the mountains in the Stirling Ranges in Western Australia, and they were incredible, tiring and hard, but incredible.

I enjoy walking. When I was in New Zealand I did walks almost everywhere I went. The highlights were definitely the Kepler track and the Tongariro crossing. Has any one else been tramping in New Zealand? It's a beautiful place.

I've also done quite a few hikes here in Japan. I haven't climbed Mt Fuji yet, but I plan to.

I tried the Peaks of Otter mountain in Virginia when I was down there...no I didn't make it all the way to the top.

Otherwise, I stick to local parks within the area for walking. I won't get run off the road by cars and you get some nice shade too from the trees.

I've climbed two mountains.
Not well known or anythin' like Lily's Mt Fuji though.

I once walked the Giant Staircase at the Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains.

I didn't get to the bottom though.

It was tiring.

I climbed half way up an active volcano the other day. It was pretty fun.

Tiria, would you believe I've never been to the Blue Mountains? I used to live quite close, but I never made it up there. Shame on me!

One of my favorites was last year when some unknown people had drawn a huge chalk hopscotch game (must have been at least a couple thousand squares long - they stopped numbering at 800-something and that wasn't very far!) connecting all the major buildngs on campus, complete with comments, random drawings, and famous-people quotes. I walked the length of it. It was very entertaining to read, and took a good 45 minutes to an hour to walk the whole thing; I can't imagine how many people, how much chalk, or how long it must have taken. I mean, the whole thing sprung up overnight, so that was quite a feat.

I like to go hiking for hours at a time in a nearby forest that we have. The cool thing is, one half of the forest looks exactly like Mossflower Wood...but the other half.....looks exactly like the Painted Ones pine forest....
It's quite creepy. I always expect to get drugged with herbs and then captured every time I go through there. There's alos a swamp, so I tend to look for toads, pawing at my dagger suspiciously....
OK, OK...I get a little intense. Comes with being a Redwall freak, I guess.

I used to live right next to the blue mountains, but we moved to WA when I was only 1.

I also went up Hawk Mountain once.
