Yet they take longer if completed without a hitch (5)
I believe the answer is:
hikes
If this is the answer, I'm afraid I cannot explain it.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hikes that I've seen before include "Tramps" , "Long walks" , "Raises" .)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
