		Hillwalkers insist on taking part in their sport even if the rain is horizontal and the visibility is zero.
		Hillwalkers on the other hand smile cheerily every time they meet and are unified by a love of the outdoors and all God's fauna.

	The Angry Corrie 28: Aug-Sep96
		Well, if the citizens of this planet, hillwalkers included, are going to make it through the next couple of centuries, something more self-effacing will have to replace the culture which puts the individual first.
		Hillwalking is important for Scottish GDP, and it can help to keep the Highlands alive - other forms of tourism often turn countryside and coast into geriatric wards.
		If you love hillwalking you should realise that respect for the hills is not just a matter of personal safety, but of survival in the widest sense.

	Hillwalkers - a warning about going to Kerry
		Not having anticipated that my day spent hillwalking would incur such an expense I did not possess at the time the means of paying such a fee.
		Nothing in the responses received from South Kerry Tourism leads me to believe that the conclusions I reached in my original letter to them were unfounded, or that a similar incident could not occur again.

	Scotsman.com Leisure & Lifestyle - Outdoors - Hills and Mountains - Walking
		A LEADING adventure magazine was yesterday accused of putting the lives of inexperienced hillwalkers in danger after claiming two of Scotland’s most challenging mountain routes could be safely traversed in the depths of winter without the aid of ice-axes and crampons.
		The latest edition of Trail, the biggest selling magazine for hillwalkers in Britain, claims the 28 mile trek through the Lairig Ghru, in the heart of the Cairngorms, and Stac Pollaidh, an arduous, 13-mile mountain path in Wester Ross, could be free of deep snow "even in the worst winter weather".
		The criticism was led by Richard Wild, the mountain safety adviser to the Mountaineering Council of Scotland, who claimed the article could mislead inexperienced hillwalkers and put them at serious risk.

	americasroof news - hiking and climbing the highest mountains and hills in the world and U.S.
		HILLWALKING, climbing, mountaineering: in the space of a few years, it’s been transformed from a nerdy minority pastime into one of the iconic activities of the age, the subject of a small avalanche of recent plays, films and books, and a pervasive symbol of - well, what?
		Either way, this emerging aspect of yuppie lifestyle receives another worthwhile airing in Alan Wilkins’s flawed-but-promising debut play for this year’s Traverse tour, which begins brilliantly, with an ill-assorted bunch of five storm-caught hillwalkers erupting into the clean, empty space of a bothy near Sgurr Mhor.
		The trouble is that this central motif is both too heavily flagged up by symbols and metaphors, and sold short by a failure, both in the language of the play and in Lorne Campbell’s slightly evasive production, to enter fully into the deep pain of loss involved in such burials.

	New Statesman: It's not just a place for hillwalkers - the future of the Scottish farms and way of life uncertain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Indeed, hillwalking is the most politically correct leisure activity in modern Scotland.
		Although I know farmers who enjoy it, and other country people who relish nothing better than a day in the hills, the landscape that many hillwalkers delight in is an empty one.
		They would be happy with a countryside devoid of economic activity; and farming is nothing if it is not an economic activity.

	MCofS; Kilfinnan Car Parking Dispute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A misunderstanding between hillwalkers and a Highland farmer looks set to be resolved following a meeting between Highland Council's Access Officer and the owner of Kilfinnan Farm near Loch Lochy.
		Kilfinnan is a popular starting point for hillwalkers heading for the Munros Sron a' Choire Ghairbh and Meall na Teanga, and the Corbett Ben Tee.
		Many walkers park their cars around Kilfinnan, and the introduction of a car parking charge was seen by many as an unofficial attempt to harass walkers for payment for parking on the local authority maintained grass verge.
