Let's Go on a Volksmarch
5. Checkpoints
|
Checkpoints:
There should be one or more checkpoints along
the trail. Usually these are staffed by friendly club members. Take the time to
have some water, maybe a little treat, and chat with them. Present your start
card to be stamped.
Water:
You should ask about the availability of water
fountains along the trail before starting. It is a good idea to bring your own
(filled) water bottle along to ensure you won't go thirsty along the
trail.
Snacks:
Checkpoints will often have hard candies or
pretzels. Some start points also sell food. Bring snacks if you think you will
get hungry. If you have any health problems, consult with your physician to
determine how you should prepare for a two-hour walk.
Restrooms:
You should ask about the availability of
restrooms along the trail before starting.
Gear:
Wear comfortable walking shoes you have already
broken in. Dress for the weather. Layers are always a good idea - you will
probably warm up once on the trail, but may want a jacket or umbrella.
