Again, a fancy term for hiking.

"In Britain, the term hillwalking or fellwalking is normally used to describe the recreational practice of walking in hilly or mountainous terrain, generally with the intention of visiting the tops of hills and mountains. The term hillwalking is used to describe activities which might be referred to as hiking, Backpacking or mountaineering elsewhere, with the term hills being understood generally to include mountains, as these are referred to specifically using the term "mountaineering" only in specific circumstances. Fellwalking is particularly used to refer to hill or mountain walks in the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales in Northern England as fell is the preferred term for both features in those parts of England."

I have done it many time myself in Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Shropshire, mainly in the winter time. What it means is that people climb to the top of a range of hills and walk along the peaks.Its a great way of getting fit and you get plenty of fresh air. I used to do it to get fit,but we always used to meet in a public house for a few scoops afterwards.
