Long-distance trail

Long-distance trails (or long-distance tracks, paths, footpaths or greenways) are the longer recreational trails mainly through rural areas, used for non-motorized recreational travelling (walking, backpacking, cycling, horse riding or cross-country skiing).

Any route named as a "trail" (or "way", in the UK) will probably be marked, or identified on a map, but it will usually only be described as "long-distance" if it takes the average user more than one day to travel from end to end. Typically, a "long-distance" trail, way or path will be at least 50 km (31 mi) long, but some in Britain are several hundred miles long, and many in the US are much longer.

In some countries, official "trails" will have the surface specially prepared to make the going easier.

In the UK long-distance paths are simply existing rights of way (over private land) "joined together" (perhaps with specially negotiated linking sections) to make a named route. Generally the surface is not especially prepared (which can come as a surprise to walkers from abroad, who find their distance-covering estimates need to be rethought to take rough ground into account) except in special places such as converted rail tracks, or some "busy" hilly areas where stone slabs are laid to prevent erosion.

    Long Distance

    by: Iggy Pop

    Alone with the phone again
    The deepening light seeps in my mind
    I'm desperate to hear a voice
    Can this really be my choice?
    I'm fifty and I'm tricky
    And I'm sick of being alone
    You're twenty-five and pretty
    But you're old enough to know
    That actions form a pattern
    And the heart's the last to know
    And I'm waitin' for another friend
    Callin' long distance again
    My mind is an antique room
    There's overstuffed chairs and carpets too
    Where nobody ever comes
    It's a good place to run away from
    And I'm runnin' from a love
    With every step I take
    And if I can fall for you then
    From the last one I am saved
    And it's a cold grey wet December
    Shity shity day
    And I'm waitin' for another friend
    Calling long distance again
    You're dark and your French voice is lovely
    And you're bright eyes light the receiver across the miles
    I'm listening close and I'm hoping
    To learn love, but I don't know how
    Calling long distance again
    Calling long distance again
    I'm calling long distance again
