Do any of you go out and about climbing up hills? If so I'd like to see some photos I'll start off with mine today at Rocky Mountain (GA, USA).

I agree with you, it's been nice outside and still distancing from people. The hikes that I've been going have been more beginner friendly, at least around here in the southeast. I'll be picking distance as I get further into it. It's been really fun and challenging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

First, start on the trails and then go off-trail when you're comfortable for real adventure. I live in the mountains and we have plenty of opportunity for hiking, camping, etc. A suggestion: get some formal training in basic survival skills. Make sure you carry a pack with basic essentials for a couple of days EVERY time you go hiking. Also, learn some primitive (bushcraft) skills to build your own shelter, catch/cook food, start fires without a Bic lighter ... . The list goes on. Oh, and RobMc doesn't like to leave his personal WWI museum often. It's in the basement of his flat. He keeps ShinyAbsol in a room down there behind the Thompson machinegun display.

That's what I'm trying to do nowadays. Luckily for me walking isn't hard. I run 3 miles 3-4 times a week. Then Saturday's I go for a hike at least the same distance that I run. Boy Oh boy, running on flat surface isn't the same as stepping on rocks. I got me some basic hiking shoes for now. Gonna get an insole in them, Ozark Trail light hiking shoes, were on sale for $5 at Wally World, and I couldn't pass that up. Took em last Saturday. Sure as hell better than the boots and blisters I had. In my expertise, if I get lost. Just listen to the banjo music. I can't help you with E.C's attempts but maybe change the color of your lipstick might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

So I had everything prepared for today. But the weather is shite... So instead I'll just post photos from a hike last year, in Siggaboda Naturreservat in Southern Sweden. Sweden -especially south- is a flat country, filled with lakes and forests and lakes and forests. Doesn't make for very challenging hikes, but it is beautiful. I had a lot of fun on this one, the challenge consisted mostly in finding the path though the vegetation - the path appears on every picture here hehe, apart from the one with the lake.
