    As for me, Gwendy, I don't translate it. I use the English word in my French speech. Anyway I prefer to be a living hiker than a watcher of hikes on the screen.

    I looked up in my R&Collins dictionary. Even top-French speakers don't translate, if not by the very same English expression.


    But wait and see. A talented poet could possibly find out an odd translation.

    but since... i can get no satisfaction... is the poet on line ? what is he doing to satisfy my .... curiosity ? probably on the road again.

    Hi,
    why not " Fuite en avant " ?

    Certainly, it's a good translation... but there are "fuite en avant" that don't happen on the road...There are lists of road movies on the web : Easy Rider / Thelma & Louise / The Grapes of Wrath / Pierrot Le Fou / Little Miss Sunshine...
