Question

【題目】 A friend and I once got lost on the top of Glyder Fawr, a mountain in North Wales. It was snowing and we couldn’t see more than two meters in front of us. Luckily we met some more experienced walkers. We followed them and returned safely. Meeting other walkers on quite a cold January day wasn’t really so surprising, because walking is the UK’s most popular sport.

Many people believe that the popular walking brought about 20 special long paths(小路) for walking in Britain. The longest is the Southwest Coast path(1014km). The most exciting one is the West Highland Way in Scotland because it passes through mountain areas. It ends at the bottom of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain.

There are also a few basic rules(規(guī)則) you should follow when you are walking on the paths. Don’t drop litter, keep your dogs around you if there are farm animals in the area, and always stay on the path.

Remember that British weather can change very quickly, especially in the north and west of the country. If you are in Wales, Scotland or the north of England, you would need to carry enough food and water with you. It is also important to wear warm and thick clothes. Carry a map and compass so that you won’t get lost. These paths are the best way to enjoy Britain’s wonderful countryside.
