Re: Hiking
Mrs tonrob and I got into hiking when we did our 1 year RTW trip 9 years ago. We did a fair few 5-10 mile hikes in Australia and New Zealand, and then a few more in Canadian and U.S. National Parks towards then end of the trip.
After that, we were both well and truly bitten by the travel bug, and many of our holidays since have incorporated some kind of hiking element in them (if not actually being hiking holidays in themselves).
Since moving to the U.S. 4 years ago I have to say that with less time off I've done less hiking, and the weight has come creeping on to the extent that I've become a little bit of a porker...

Re: Hiking
Any other hikers amoungst us?
Well since I moved to NE Ohio last year I was impressed to find out I live quite near Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and the plethora of trails, waterfalls that permeate it.
I've not hiked really since I was in the scouts, and kinda took it up again........ Since winter I've done around 40 miles of the Buckeye Trail and maybe a hundred or so other miles of various other trails in the national park.
I've got a hankering for doing a bit of an expedition. Now the AT is waaay to daunting for someone as wobbly as me. but I'd like to do the Long Trail in Vermont for the month or so it would take.
anyone else out there done anything such as this?
