Hiking
This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

"driving through huge puddles of mud and cow dung whilst the walkers are walking past is fun..."
yes it is, especially if it's raining and they've stopped to consult a map. in fact i once turned round and went back and splashed them again!
true Taw story - this week I went hiking myself. I was somewhat conned into it though. here's how. Wednesday mornings I usually go the pictures with the MiL, she gets 1/2 price for both of us being in her 60s. This Wenesday just gone, she rang me up and said she didn't want to go because it looked like a film she wasn't interested in. Ok says I. She then asks me if i'd liek to do something else. Like what? says I. How do you like the sound of going for a hike and then to a pub for lunch? she asks. Not very much, I reply, I'd rather just go for the lunch thx! The she tells me that someone else wants to go and would I mind coming along with her tp keep her company?
Hoho! I cried, now I see what you want you old strumpet, i'm to be your chaperone am I? much merriment on my part follows but she insists thats not the case....
..she wanted me to go to push his wheelchair - yes, i spent Wednesday morning ankle-deep in mud pushing a disabled man round a lake. dee-light-ful.

I find Hiking fun, only i don't use a walking stick, or Hiking stick as its officially called.
Basically, because the only Hiking we really do here, is during a dropping, where we are loaded in the back of a truck, carted off to some place in the middle of the countryside, and have to walk back to base (I have to tell with it, that Im a Sea/Waterscout, and have been for nigh on 10 Years) The Most Basic equipment we take with us, are a flashlight, map, some fluids, mostly liquor and water, warm clothes, and a few small tents, depending on how far we go and how many people are dropped, the first challenge for the most, is getting a fix on Location, spot that location on the map, and plotting a good route back to base.
The farthest Ive been dropped, is 256 Kilometres from Basepoint, with three other people and food and water for 3 days, and some money if food were to run out, a map, no compass and a fully charged Flashlight, we had a tent with us we carried in turns, and at the end, we had a ****load of souvenirs, "acquired" along the route, (think traffic signs and such) it was part of a match, we arrived second of four. but that was basically because the first Team was dropped near a railway line. it took us 5 days 8 hours 23 minutes and 5 seconds to get back to Base
