...to all those students who attended the training walk on Sunday 27th April. The weather was superb and everyone had a great day, if a little tired and sore by the end. The groups walked about 13-14 miles in a very reasonable time.
A few points to remember:..
1) Bring lunch.
2) Pre-plaster/pad/compeed or otherwise strap up your feet where you got blisters or rubbing. You must remember that if Sunday had been the actual trip, there would be 4 more days of trekking to do!
3) There is nothing stopping you from going out walking yourselves! The more you get used to it here, the more enjoyable trekking in the Tatras will be!
4) Check your feet regularly during the day and eat/drink little and often throughout the day!!
If anyone has some photos from Sunday, or some good quotes/anecdotes of people saying/doing daft things, please let me know and I'll include it on the site.
Good luck with the exams and keep check the sites for updates.
