Hiking

Never wear Jeans for hiking, as they are very uncomfortable when they get wet.

We advise that you wear layers of clothing so that you can remove items if you become hot.

Hiking boots should also be worn.

Make sure your rucksack is comfortable when you have packed it, and that you have nothing sticking into your back.

When hiking always go in groups of at least three.

Always leave a route of where you are going and a time that you should be back by with a responsible person back at base.  Remember to contact this person when you finish the hike.

To help avoid blisters, never soak your feet before you go hiking.
