Long journey that may encounter a hitch? (4)
I believe the answer is:
hike
This could be a double definition.
'long journey that may encounter' is the first definition.
'hike' can be an answer for 'long journey'. I am unsure of the rest of the definition.
'a hitch?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
I also know that 'hitch' relates to this answer.
(Other definitions for hike that I've seen before include "Long walk - sharp increase" , "Walking tour" , "Walk for pleasure in the country" , "Go walking with equipment" , "(Price) increase; walk" .)
