I'd like to lead a walk.
How should I go about it? (continued)
- 3. Reconnoitre the walk. It's best to get a friend to go with you who'd used to leading walks. This not only makes it more fun - a good day out instead of a chore - but it will help you learn the ropes, too. At this point you may be wondering, what's wrong with these people? I've got the book. Then they tell me to get a map, and now they say I need to do a recce as well! The point is, in practice books only give you a general idea, they don't tell you exactly where the path goes. That's where the 1:25000 map comes in. Those maps show a lot of detail, including field boundaries, so in theory you can tell from the map precisely where the path goes. But then farmers plough up hedges, builders put up houses, paths get diverted or overgrown, ... and so you really do need to do a recce. |
In the countryside ALWAYS KEEP TO THE FOOTPATH |
