Google �Muslim women walking groups� and there are plenty. Hill walking in long skirts isn�t the easiest.

Zarah, the Hillwalking hijabi, from Glasgow is one who I follow. Boots n Beards is another walking group and the Black Scottish wanderers.
The thing I found is that the comments under some of the ethnic walking groups posts on social media would put their members off leaving the house, let alone going up the hills. That is sad as the outdoors is for all.

I live in a area where 'White' folks are a minority, and Asians, Africans and West Indians are probably 80% of the population, BUT those who regularly walk for leisure/exercise in my local parks where I walk my dog are predominantly 'White'! So, a hugely disproportionate and inverse representation of the demographic!

I can only say, that ratio does seem to extend to a great many outdoor activities that I've indulged in over the years, boating and sailing, water and snow skiing, hill walking etc. It can only be by choice.

interesting topic.

we holiday in france once a year at the more family oriented campsites.

france has a more camping oriented culture hence the fantastic campsites and france also has a heritage similar to ours which has promoted imigration from its african 'empire' (or whatver its called there).

there are often plenty of guests from BaIM backgrounds but i have not seen any camping in tents or caravans nearby. i guess they use the satic caravans.

i have some reletives of indian heritage and one owns a motorhome and he uses it, however, having lived here since before i was born he is as 'english' as i am.

some cultutes just dont do camping. i travel to italy with my work and talking to my italian customers those i have spoken to wince when i mention camping and suggest its 'a poor persons holiday' most have family holiday homes in the mountains or by the coast. some have sort of seasonal pitch caravans that they build into a veranda with a roof over it.

interesting point about those with families abroad. i was listening to an interview with the lady who wrote 'Baji on the beach' she said that growing up any money for holidays was spent on travelling to her indian relatives in india and during school holidays etc the families would take a day trip to the seaside together...hence the subject of 'baji on the beach'
