'A brief note about names: Walking is the British term for hiking, tramping or any other words for putting one foot in front of the other in the outdoors. Rambling is the term for gentler walks through flatter countryside. Hillwalking or Mountain Walking mean walking, as opposed to rock climbing, up hills and mountains. Trekking and Backpacking are used fairly interchangeably, but backpacking suggests carrying your camping gear on your back.'
