I know your first reaction is that Tramperised is not a word!! You just have to stare very hard at the dictionary and trust me this word will appear. It is a good word this and you just need to recognize the signs. So what is it really to be Tramperised ..... well read on

Ten Signs that you have been Tramperised:

1. Every Monday morning you stare longingly at the hills from your office window while your boss gives you dirty glares
2. You carefully check your backpack to ensure you have Emergency Money for beers
3. After a very tough uphill hike on Saturday night in LKF, you find yourself somehow dragging your backside this Sunday morning March 16 at 10.51 am to catch the ferry to Mui wo from the Central ferry pier
4. From the Mui wo ferry pier you walk enthusiastically in the general direction of Sunset peak (Pak Kung Au)which is exactly 18,275.684994 metres away
5. You ensure that you are carrying the Sai Kung map so that you are not lost
6. You bring a set of Vernier Calipers to argue with the hike leader on the height attained for the day is 495.276874 metres
7. You check the Tramper website every half hour for the latest updates and changes that might critically affect your life
8. You realize that your cooking skills are restricted to boiling water so all you can carry for lunch is pasta
9. At every step there is just one philosophical deep truth that keeps you going - Dinner at The Stoep
10. And this final sign that you have been completely Tramperised (Men pl ignore):
    
    You have an irresistible urge to hug the hike leader for doing such a terrific job
