I'm all for harmonizing, as well - but let's bear in mind that in some
places, a 'walking' route and a 'hiking' route may be distinct
concepts, partly in terms of accessibility. If a walking route can be
managed by Grandpa with his cane and two-year-old granddaughter in
tow, that's hardly what an American would call 'hiking'!

But we surely don't need four inconsistent classifications!

I have started a topic, but with little response so far. That's why I come here, before proceeding.
