rambler

Aimless trail stroller

A rambler is someone who walks for pleasure, especially through the countryside—common in British usage where rambling is a popular pastime.

The word extends to someone who talks at length without clear direction: He's a rambler who never gets to the point.

A rambler is also a climbing rose variety that spreads vigorously, or a style of single-story house with a sprawling floor plan.
