obambulate (v)
To wander aimlessly or walk about.
"For heaven's sake, where's your father got to now? He's gone obambulating again, just when it's time to go home."
--Peter Bowler, Ron Bell, The Superior Person's Second Book of Weird and Wondrous Words
If I had the prerogative to do as I pleased each weekday, undoubtedly I would engage in a good deal of gallivanting, camera in hand. Indeed, many of the photographs you espy here (and here) resulted from just such perambulatory traipsing on Saturday or the Sabbath.
Urban hiking is pussycat*; wandering in the woods is too, maybe even pussycatastic, but opportunities for that are sparse. What appeals to me about obambulation isn't so much the specific scenery but the feeling of autonomy -- and the serendipity.

*This is an adjective. Look it up!
