Walking & Trekking Holidays

• For trekking you should have a reasonable to good level of fitness.
• Take plenty of water and drink little and often.
• Ensure that you have a comfortable pair of walking boots. If new, ensure you have done several long walks in them before departure.
• Carry several pairs of woollen socks. Some people wear two pairs to prevent blisters.
• For trekking, walking poles will help you keep your balance and take pressure off your joints.
• For hotter climes, take a sunhat, apply plenty of sunscreen and wear loose fitting cotton layers.
• For colder climes, take several warm base layers, a fleece and a waterproof top.
• Get into the habit of stretching your hamstring muscles for 10-15 minutes at the start and the end of each day.

Note, your country specialist will be able to give you more comprehensive or specific advice once your trip has been finalised.
