Hike Quotes

“I don't like either the word [hike] or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains - not 'hike!' Do you know the origin of that word saunter? It's a beautiful word. Away back in the middle ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going they would reply, 'A la sainte terre', 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.”
― John Muir

“All hail outdoorsy types.
Where would we be without them encouraging us up mountains or wheedling until we cave in and head into the wilderness with a sleeping bag on our back?
Camping - and its chi-chi cousin, glamping - lends itself perfectly to coorie.
Scotland's legal framework does, too: unlike England and Wales, where walkers must stay within set boundaries of the countryside, we can wander at whim.
The same rights apply to sleeping overnight, which makes wild camping one of the most treasured aspects to roaming in Scotland.
Hikers are safe in the knowledge that as long as they have a sensible tent and respect their surroundings, there is nothing to limit them.
Come nightfall the adventure is far from over.
In fact, a new one has just begun.”
