like "Lowlands Trekker" because "Trecker" is the Northern German word

<br><br>Hmm ... For me it's a bit of a toss-up between it and "Lowlands Trekker" ...<br><br>OK, I still like the trekker a teensy bit better, but I'd be OK with the wayfarer, as long as no one confuses it with "waylayer," or with "wayward" (though that would fit in certain cases). We must consider folks with poor English out there. I have a hunch that loads of them don't know what a wayfarer is. It's a bit "old-fashioned" (though nice), isn't it?
<br><br>So what does everyone else think?<br></span><ul><li><span class="q">The Lowlands Wayfarer</span></li><li><span class="q">The Lowlands Trekker</span></li></ul><span class="q">How about alliteration?<br></span><ul><li>
