Cross country walks, also known as hikes, are a popular outdoor activity that involve walking long distances over varied terrain. They can be done alone or with a group and often take place in rural areas or national parks. Hikes usually involve walking for several hours and can range from easy to difficult depending on the terrain and the distance covered. Hikers often carry supplies such as food, water, and maps to help them navigate their way. Cross country walks provide an opportunity to explore nature and get some exercise at the same time.
