Describe the route and experience
Give the distance, elevation gain, terrain and expected duration. Say whether you have walked the route before. An invitation from another participant does not by itself include a professional guide.
An invitation to adaptA daytime 6 km hike with a gentle climb, for people with basic hiking experience. We will discuss the route, equipment and return transport before confirming.
Agree equipment and transport
Discuss water, food, footwear, rain protection and navigation. Check return transport and travel costs. Meet in a busy place before setting out; avoid making a stranger your only way to get home.
Make turning back an option
Check weather, access restrictions and local conditions. Agree a turnaround time and an alternative if someone gets tired. Tell someone you trust the route and expected return time. Do not continue a difficult section just to keep the group happy.
