[pct-l] Why do you hike solo?

[saskiadaru at xs4all.nl (Saskia Daru)]

Hi everyone,

With all the talk of going solo, I'd like to put in a good word for hiking
as a couple. 

I have to consider the whims and follies of another person. But I love that
person! And I get to enjoy the warmth, the wit, the encouragement as well.

I get to sit silently next to my partner and look at the sun going down over
a mountain range, colouring it pink. I can see how hiking solo is special,
but so is hiking with the person you love. And such a big thing as a
long-distance hike, is something I would definitely want to share. I feel
privileged to get the chance to do so.
