There is an urban legend going around that a day-tripper from Liverpool who visited Betws-y-coed in North Wales, saw a walkers ice axe in a hiking shop window and thought it was a sick joke,referring to the murder of Anthony Walker, and proceeded to make a big fuss about it. As a proper townie, and ignorant of all things rural, she had to be educated that the term referred to the pursuit of hill-walking and not the murder victim.
