long distance

A long-distance trail (or long-distance footpath, track, way, greenway) is a longer recreational trail mainly through rural areas used for hiking, backpacking, cycling, horse riding or cross-country skiing. They exist on all continents except Antarctica.
Many trails are marked on maps. Typically, a long-distance route will be at least 50 km (30 mi) long, but many run for several hundred miles, or longer.Many routes are waymarked and may cross public or private land and/or follow existing rights of way. Generally, the surface is not specially prepared, and the ground can be rough and uneven in areas, except in places such as converted rail tracks or popular walking routes where stone-pitching and slabs have been laid to prevent erosion. In some places, official trails will have the surface specially prepared to make the going easier.

    320 Mile Round Trip - My experience

    Having just returned from a 320 mile round trip (160 each way) in my new (week old) Trophy on R30, I experienced the following: 1. Using the touch screen whilst driving is a bit like shooting an arrow whilst drunk. When I did hit the correct area on screen, sometimes it responded, sometimes...

    First public charging - nervous?

    In June, I'll need to make a return journey of 350 miles (without the wife as a passenger) but have never needed to use public chargers on shorter sub 200 mile trips. TBH, I'm bricking it. I know I shouldn't worry but having never done it before, it's the unknown that gets me. Zap Map has...

    Long distance journey

    I took my mg5 LR on a journey from South Wales to Eden project last week. What an absolute nightmare that was. Getting there was ok, but the way back took twice as long as it should have as there were so few chargers, and every fewer working. I really should have done my homework better and...

    Finished first long distance trip!

    So finished my first trip to Scotland and back to London. The car performed well. In fact the ACC and the MG Pilot made the motorway driving less tiring than usual. Learning to manage recharging was interesting. The outwards trip was poorer due to trying to max out the battery, whereas the...

    First long distance drive ?

    I did my first ever long drive today. 110 mile round trip. Driving with the HVAC, stereo and heated seat on. Temperature was 0-2 degrees. Got back home with 10% battery and 12 miles left. Did get a bit stressful towards the end when the power was limited and the miles dropped to the teens. I...
