Was Tolkien a Hiker?

[kementari]

Tolkien attended Malvern College, West Midlands and wandered (rambled) along to the Worcester beacon in his youth. I was told this from a teacher who worked at a nearby primary school beneath the Malvern Hills. They said he did a lot of hiking in Herefordshire too.

So hmm, I'm not too sure about him being an avid hiker, but this is what an old man said in Colwall village to me last year.

Take it with a pinch of salt
