This is the first of the walks we will be doing in preparation for Poland. As such it will be a nice, easy start and an opportunity for many of you to start wearing in your new boots.
WARNING: If you have not already done so, please make sure you spend several hours in your boots around the house before walking in them on Sunday!
For some of you the walk will be very easy and for some it will be a bit of any eye-opener. Please be supportive of everyone walking with you and offer help as and when appropriate.
PLEASE REMEMBER:
1) Wear a decent pair of socks/sock combination and the footwear you intend to use in Poland.
2) Each time we stop for a break, check your feet for signs of rubbing (pink bits) and strap/plaster the area BEFORE it becomes a blister. You will obviously need to bring plasters with you to do this with (Compeed style are the best...Boots make their own version).
3) You will need to bring a pack-lunch with you and snacks to munch on as you walk (Haribo is not as good as you think it is for this!). Please also remember to bring enough water with you, 1-2 litres will be fine.
4) Be sensible with what you wear and bring waterproofs. You are quite capable of deciding what size bag to pack that all in. If you can fit it in a small ruck sack that's fine. If you wish to half pack the ruck sack you will use in Poland, that it is also fine.
5) Meet in the Front car park at 8am and we will be leaving shortly after. Be ontime!
Please leave expensive and unnecassary items (like iPods) at home. I'm looking forward to Sunday and seeing what you're like as a group!!
