Maria F Topped up on water from this fountain before starting. The other is a picture from the top. It wasn't a long hike because the higher mountains are still full of snow!

I noticed a girl about 20 metres behind me at one point, she was listening to music and taking the same route as me and catching up. So I sped that up and she kept up with me. So when the steeper part came I maintained my fast pace, and after 5 minutes, I totally lost her. Muahahhahahahaa!

I'm sure you can. You are walking the dog as you are going for a hike. Eitherway I assume you've walked your dog before so I think you can complete it ;)

Becka C asked Can I use 1 activity for 2 challenges??

I took my dog on a hike and I am participating in the "Go for A Hike" and "Walk Your Dog" Challenge and trying to decide which this would apply to. I am counting walks with my dog that exceed the normal search and squat adventures...
