[edit] Scope

I would like some ideas on what qualifies as a LONG Distance Trail. I am uncomfortable with the 50 km/ 31 Mi mark. Where did this come from?

I agree. What I consider long-distance trails are hundreds or thousands of miles/km long and are epic adventures to hike, not weekend trips. Rmhermen 21:18, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

This article seems very UK or European focused. There are certainly some longer trails around the world which aren't mentioned, esp. in the US or Canada.

some off the best walks i've ever been on are along the east coast of England, well worth doing around 500 miles so not a weekend walk

[edit] Globalize

The article is now slightly more global, but lacks information from South America, Asia, and Australia. --Una Smith (talk) 19:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
