Notes for leaders
BEFORE THE WALK
- Provide an accurate description of the walk, taking into account
the intended walkers’ abilities (see notes on pace below}.
- Pre-walk the route if possible taking note of any potential difficulties
and morning tea and lunch spots. If you wish to do a recce for a walk,
you will be covered by Bush Club insurance if you notify the Walks
Secretary by email beforehand and have a total of at least 2 Bush
Club members on the walk.
- Try and have an alternate plan in case of unforeseen circumstances.
e.g. flash flooding, track erosion, transport changes etc.
- Choose areas and walk levels that are within your capabilities
as a leader.
- Leave comprehensive details of the walk with a reliable person including
instructions on what to do if you do not return at the expected time.
- A few days prior to walk check transport details, expected weather
conditions and in summer, fire conditions, park closures etc. All
day walks must be held unless conditions are unsafe.
