I always have a warm salt bath, now I'm sure if that really helps or if it just feels like at the time, and the discomfort just goes on its own.

i'm not listening to the ice bath people (la la la can't hear you...)
and as most big hillwalks are around 3hr drive from home, i reckon i've definitely missed the window for ice baths by the time i'm home [hopes]

Train more? Or just expect it? I'm not being sarky. If you've been off running for a bit and you go back to a hard run, hard hill walk, long run, whatever, you're muscles aren't used to it and they will ache. 3 days and it will go away. After that, train 3 times a week and after first week, you'll rarely get DOMs again. It's just the ol' mantra of build it up slowly, and once you're there, you won't have a prob. Good luck with getting back to running. You've got at least 3 days to recover now though! :-)G

Wish my muscels would listen to that theory :-)G but unfortunately no matter how many marathons and hills I run I still end up crippled  Ibuprofen, warm baths and stretches are your friends

hillwalking always gives me DOMS even when i'm very running fit, because i can't get up to the big hills any more than a couple of times a month usually (though planning every weekend for the next six weeks).
also, you never know for sure what a munro descent will be like till you get there - it's not just the steepness but the path (or lack of path) too... and paths that have been worked on are worst as the rock steps that people like JMT and NTS build are always bigger than my natural step height.

DOMS kicked in for me yesterday afternoon after my HM.
I cycled and ran it into submission today.
That policy's guaranteed to bite me in the bum one day...

I get DOMS on a regular basis as I do a brutal circuits class, which beasts every part of you. I swear by sleeping with my microwaveable wheat pack on the offending muscles. Its very rare that it doesn't sort the ache out completely by the next morning.
