1)Hiking — an ideal thing but only for the young. A lot of inconveniences, significant for those not already young. Mosquitoes,
packing and re-erecting a tent, many heavy things to carry. No real comfort. Is it a kind of a holiday of relaxation to overcome lots of
difficulties and inconveniences?
2)Agrees that hiking is cheap. But you get what you pay for. When hiking you don't pay much and you don't get much.

1)Hotels provide more comfort, greater variety of food. But remote strained atmosphere of hotels, cold and unfriendly formal
greetings between the residents. Hiking — enormous opportunity to meet different people, share your pleasures, make friends.
2)Hiking provides you with a real change from everyday living. You get up earlier, go to bed earlier, develop a hearty appetite. (Ask
for Mrs. Katherine Morrow's opinion.)

1)Ideal way of spending a holiday is getting relaxed and away from other people. Camping sites are crowded. Many people go on a
hike. You must meet a lot of people, get acquainted with them. Making friends is not an easy task for everybody. Even if a place is
beautiful, all the beauty is gone because of the number of people. (Ask Helen Green's opinion.)
2)A person on a hike is quite helpless. Something goes wrong, help is required. Where to go? What to do? (Ask Diana Hubble or the
hostess of the discussion.)

1)Nothing can spoil the beauty of nature. Walking is the best way to enjoy nature. Can explore beautiful distant places which cannot
be done in a car, or sitting in front of the "one-eyed" monster — TV set.
Being in the open air is an advantage in itself. You improve your health, you train your body, you develop your senses.
7.Mrs. Katherine Morrow
1)Hiking is not a real holiday for the family. No real rest. Wife has to cook, to do washing up under primitive conditions. No
change'for her. You sit in front of TV, you see beautiful places, you read a book, you live wonderful lives and you have a real holiday.
Hotels also provide rest and freedom for everyone in the family.
2)Much depends upon the weather. Rain, drizzle, dull weather, erecting a wet tent are not enjoyment in themselves.
8.Miss Diana Hubble
1)Hiking is an ideal way of spending a holiday. You are free to choose. You don't like the place or it is too crowded, you can sim ply
get up and go or stay as long as you like. You're the boss, have tremendous mobility.
2)A person seldom goes on a hike alone, in isolation. Telephone booths, people eager to cooperate. Hiking has other advantages. The
