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. NEXT
