Hiking in the mountains or going to the beach?
Hiking in the mountains or going to the beach?
I guess Hiking in the mountains. Bc I'd rather fall to my death in the peaceful wilderness than drown at a crowded beach.
If the beach is empty (no people or dangerous animals) I'll take the beach in the late evening. I am in too worse of a shape to deal with the mountains.
When I was at school in Scotland, barely a month went by that we didn’t get dragged up some hill or other. Always cold. Always wet. Always miserable. It put me off the going up of hills for life - although it’s thrilling sitting up a hill watching Air Force fighter jets (Tornadoes, Typhoons etc) scream through the valleys at a lower altitude than you are. I can highly recommend it. I also lived on the coast, and spent almost my entire childhood on a beach. Always cold. Always wet. Sometimes miserable. It put me off hanging around beaches for life - the sea off Scotland is beyond cold all year round. It’s not pleasant going in but after a minute or so the numbness sets in and you don’t feel it any more. I’m always shocked when I go into the sea in other countries and it doesn’t make me want to cry/pee myself/die.
I can fancy both. But I would prefer diving.
I'd much prefer the latter, but I've definitely enjoyed the former. Went hiking up in Hurricane Ridge a couple of summers ago and really enjoyed it. Beautiful countryside. The name was not much of an exaggeration though. Brr.
