IMPORTANT INFORMATION

For your own safety please follow the advice and instructions of your leader. Whilst every care is taken in planning routes we can accept no liability and participation is entirely at your own risk.

On roads members should walk in single file, facing oncoming traffic unless otherwise instructed by the leader.

The walk leader determines the pace of the walk. Please therefore keep behind your leader at all times. Do not try to “force the pace”.

Walking boots must not be worn on the coach after walks. Please bring a change of footwear and “bag” your boots before getting on the coach.

WHAT TO BRING

The following should be considered a minimum list of equipment you should have.

• Boots.   These should be waterproof and have a good "Vibram" or similar sole. Ordinary shoes, trainers or similar are not suitable for hill walking.
• Waterproof (not showerproof) jacket and overtrousers
• Food (sufficient for 2 meals in winter) & emergency rations such as Kendal Mint Cake or energy bar.
• Plenty to drink (hot drink in winter)
• Spare warm clothing
• Hat & gloves
• Survival bag
• Torch (with good batteries) & whistle
• First aid kit & any personal medication you may need.

NOTE – Please don’t be tempted to wear denim jeans when walking. If it rains they get cold and heavy very quickly and are very slow drying.

Please remember the walk leader may not allow you to join their walk if they think you aren’t properly equipped - the safety of the group is paramount.

TO BE LEFT ON THE COACH

• Complete change of clothing and spare footwear. It can get very wet at times!

• Food and drink for the return journey.
