I have copied almost all the content for a new article Walking in the United Kingdom. It does not seem practical to globalise this article without recreating Hiking, so I am proposing a redirect to Walking in the United Kingdom. Does anyone object?Mhockey (talk) 12:03, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- I have no objection. the new article looks good. For the sake of GFDL you should at least make a null edit saying that some material was copied from this article. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 18:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, I'd suggest that Hillwalking and Rambling redirect there (as the latter goes to walking now). I'm trying to write a blurb about the 19th century sport Pedestrianism, and the British tradition of hillwalking is a major source of sport. T L Miles (talk) 03:08, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- Agree, the target article looks good and seems to include all the essentials. Any objections? . . dave souza, talk 13:46, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Guides
editI have added a short section on guide books to help newcomers. Further additions welcome. Peterlewis (talk) 18:42, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- I understand why you created the section, the only issue is the lack of references. The most significant was where it said "those written by W A Poucher remain among the most authoratative". I've reworded it to remove issues with neutral point of view, though it still needs a better introduction sentence. --Mrmatiko (talk) 18:59, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- Refs come through cross-refs to other W articles, and are hardly needed for this topic. It is not an area where there are numerous academic or even any articles. Peterlewis (talk) 19:33, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- What about more recent guides? Poucher in particular is very dated. I now rarely hill walk in the UK, but own many Cicerone guide books, mainly for Europe.Rwood128 (talk) 14:10, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Merge with Walking in the United Kingdom
editI suggest that Hillwalking be merged with Walking in the United Kingdom. Is there any logical reason for having two articles like this? Furthermore perhaps a further merge with Hiking is called for? Rwood128 (talk) 14:35, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
The transfer of information is, I believe, complete and there doesn't seem to be any objection to this merger.Rwood128 (talk) 21:08, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
