Trekking Time

 

 

TREKKING

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trekking is a very common activity on the island. Read the following instructions to be ready in case you need it. 

 

• Always carry maps and available guide books. If not used, keep them in a plastic waterproof bag.
• Global positioning systems (GPS) are becoming cheaper, and they are very useful at the time of checking your coordinates.
• A light aluminium water bottle is essential for carrying drinking water.
• A strong and durable back pack is required. It should be no more than of medium size.
• Footwear designed specifically for trekking or hiking is best.
• Wear thick wollen socks or synthetic blend socks.
• Clothing should be comfortable and breathable.
• Walking sticks in each hand take a lot of weight off the legs and let you use your arms as an additional pair of legs.
