6 point plan
Planning an adventure holiday but unsure about your fears and insecurities since it's your first foray into the wild, unknown terrain? The Tripu00a0gives you the lowdown with this handy checklist.
>> If you are a novice and have never tried the sport or are in doubt about your fitness levels, sign up for a training session that will give you a fair idea of the real deal. This may also alert you to additional safety clothingu00a0 or equipment that you might require on your trip.
>> Check if a doctor will be in the vicinity in case of an accident. Carry a local emergency number and relevant insurance documents.
>> Check the adventure group's credentials. Find out if the adventure group is reputed and has documents in place and the required experience to ensure that no safety measures are overlooked.
>> Check the equipment that will be in use throughout the trip is certified safe and has been tested for any faults.
>> Take precautions to ensure your safety. It's advisable to carry a first aid kit handy in case of an accident on site. It's economical and most of the time you get a chance to stay in cosy cottages, which adds to the charm.
>> Prepare your body for an adventure activity to help minimise injury during your trip.
