Hillwalkers
on Beinn Dearg, Scotland
Hillwalking
is a British English term for a form of hiking which involves the
ascent of hills. The activity is usually distinguished from
mountaineering as it does not involve ropes or technically
difficult rock climbing, although the terms mountain and hill are
often used interchangeably in Britain. Hillwalking is popular in
mountainous areas such as the English Peak District or the
Scottish Highlands. Many hills are categorised according to
relative height or other criteria and feature on lists named
after mountaineers, such as Munros (Scotland) or Wainwrights
(England). Specific locating activities such as "peak
bagging" (or "Munro bagging") involve climbing
hills on these lists with the aim of completing (or
"compleating") the list.
