[at-l] walking or hiking

[Jim Bullard]

When I walk I'm not usually carrying anything (except maybe a camera
case and/or a walking stick) but when I hike I generally have a
backpack with at least essentials of food, water and extra clothing in
case of changes in weather. At least that's the distinction for me.
Hiking necessarily involves walking but walking doesn't necessarily
involve hiking.
