WHY HIKE WITH AN ESTABLISHED CLUB....

We encourage people of all ages, whether experienced or not, to join our club, so that they can enjoy the benefit of an organized and knowledgeable group when on a trail or wilderness hike. It is dangerous to hike alone, or in a small group of less than four persons (in the case of an emergency, two can go for help, and one can assist the sick or injured person).

An organized hiking is normally very safe, but sudden changes in the weather, a slip or trip, or getting lost can still happen The presence of our experienced hikers in these circumstances is essential.

Advice on all aspects of hiking, such as the correct boots to wear, food and its preparation, sleeping bags, backpacks and equipment is freely available from our experienced members.
