Tramping has many different names in different parts of the world - in Britain it's called hillwalking (rambling in England, perhaps where there aren't any real hills involved?), in Australia it's bushwalking, in North America hiking.
Anyway, I organised a hillwalk with a bunch of my workmates (and a few of Sylvia's) at a place called Glen Lyon. It's a seldom visited part of Scotland, but it's hardly remote, lying in the southern highlands - I think it's the long, windy road that puts people off more than the remoteness. It was certainly worth the journey though!
I won't harp on about it but here's a few pictures. Photo credits for some go to Eric.
The famous five go hillwalking! It was quite a steep descent back to the car.
Sylvia's workmate Shehu shows us how it's done in style.

Sylvia demonstrate how to bum slide when there's no snow. The only spaniards they have in Scotland are the two-legged variety.
