What does tramping mean to you?

The Meaning of Tramping

To me, tramping, walking, hiking, rambling, ‘mum walks’, whichever words you choose for a life outdoors, they have not always been comfortable in my lexicon. Probably due in no small part to that last one – ‘mum walks’. Understandably that won’t translate to many people, actually I’d be very surprised if anyone outside of my immediate family gets it and if they do, I’d love to hear from them. ‘Mum walks’ are the name given by me and my two siblings to the seemingly endless and directionless rambles (tramps) my Mum would take us on as a family when we were younger. We would be on a caravanning holiday on the coast or somewhere in the countryside near a campsite that offered electricity and nightly bingo, and Mum would declare we were going “On A Walk”. Just as a side note, it is a regular form of hilarity that my Mum has a Geography degree, as she would sometimes struggle to find the right side of a map. Consequently, these walks often felt long, and not quite circular enough, with a forced air of ‘we are enjoying the outdoors. Also, it was England, in summer, so drizzle, mist, rain, thunderstorms and a biting wind were a regular feature.

I found myself in limbo during the winter of 2020, in between jobs in a strained covid economy. And so, I did what any outdoors person would do with a large amount of free time on their hands. It was time to pack up my belongings and hit the road. It was time to leave behind home comforts and go adventure-seeking.
