Even if you do not use your phone to refer to your route, you might need it to call for help. Draw the route in on your paper map as well, in case something happens to your phone.
WALKING PAPERS OFFLINE
Remember to download the map for offline use.All include total elevation and descent, the total distance, the amount of time it is expected to take according to Naismith’s Law and at least one of them includes the weather.
For example, if you want to head up Ingleborough, here are three different routes from Alltrails, Komoot, and Viewranger. If you have map skills, but lack confidence in route planning, use an app to find one.Consider the weather and in particular wind direction and visibility.” “By spending some time researching your chosen route, you’ll gain valuable knowledge and an understanding of the terrain. I have generalised the information underneath. The yellow boxes contain the information from Llanberis Mountain Rescue’s online list and therefore is often specific to the Yr Wyddfa region. This post is just a mini refresher course as we examine the rules (ugh, ‘advice’ then) from the website that are there to keep us safe. Most of it is common sense for the seasoned hiker, but common sense sometimes abandons all of us, and not everyone is a seasoned hiker.
WALKING PAPERS HOW TO
And all the advice for how to hike safely and avoid a rescue is printed up on Llanberis Mountain Rescue’s website. What rules? Well, rules is just the really strict sounding word I’m using in place of advice. Of course I see the irony of heading out and hiking for two months at the most dangerous time of year for hiking and, in the process, creating a situation where I might need a Mountain Rescue Team myself, but I’m following all the rules so Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team (and the Western Beacons Mountain Rescue Team that oversees the Tenby area, as well as the Coastguard) are hopefully fairly reassured. It’s all to raise money for Llanberis Mountain Rescue. Currently that feels optimistic but here’s hoping future me checks in (Hahahaha! Yeah still at least a week and a half from Tenby!) Things that aren’t beige.īut, all things being well, my rough itinerary (which I expect will be moot within three days of starting) places me at the time of this publication as being about half a day west of Tenby on the Gower. I mean, this is a scheduled post so currently I’m doing nothing of the sort it’s the twenty somethingth of November and I leave in a week and, frankly am preoccupied in planning what to eat in that week that I might not get my hands on again for a while. In case you weren’t aware, though I’m sure by now most are I’m currently over a month into walking the 870 miles of the Wales Coast Path. (Update: I completed the Wales Coast Path on 7th February 2022 and raised £1,300) Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team. I am currently walking the Wales Coast Path to raise money for the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team.
