also don't get me wrong, I also enjoy trips that are more camp focused. I think this gets a little lost in the 'fast hiker vs slower hiker' thing. some trips are about covering ground and walking for the majority of the day light hours. But some trips involve a hammock, a frying pan, and some beer.
I'm spending a fair bit of these lock down days roaming around the rather uninspiring countryside (read farmland with the odd small patch of woodland) near my home. I take my study, a hammock, and read while drinking tea. not getting 26 miles done a day at the moment hah.
