So.... I am gathering that in U. S. There are crazy long mountain trails that constantly have people hiking them... That's amazing.. Coming from England we have a few trails that are statement but nothing nothing like these terrains you experience.. I am heading out to Wales to do some different terrains but again we don't have the magnitude or the huge hike scene, it's really lovely to experience it vicariously through these podcasts.. Thankyou for the window in ❤
