Know before you go

Preparation is part of the adventure.

Understand the demands of the route and agree on the support arrangements before you confirm a trip. Outdoor travel involves changing conditions and requires informed decisions.

Choose the right route.

Difficulty labels are a starting point. Ask about daily distances, elevation changes, road conditions, and the longest day on your itinerary.

Confirm the support.

Before departure, ask who will lead the trip, how the group communicates, what equipment is provided, and what happens if someone needs to leave the route.

Before confirming

Discuss experience, fitness, access requirements, equipment, insurance, and anything that may affect your participation.

Before departure

Review the final briefing, meeting arrangements, weather expectations, packing list, and contact details. Keep a copy available offline.

On the route
