Tips before a Trip
Plan your trip: So you don't get unorganised and you know where to go.
Tell someone: So if you get lost a least someone knows where you are.
Weather: So you don't go to the place and it rains of storm or even hail.

Hey there Opeti thank you for creating a list of important items you will need to take with you when hiking the Tongariro Crossing. You have included some very sensible items, well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of food might you take? You will need to take some food that is going to give you lots of energy. I would probably take a big sandwich, some nuts, fruit, muesli bars and maybe even some delicious chocolate.
It sounds like you know what you're doing. Have you been hiking before? It's definitely a good idea telling someone where you are going, just in case something goes wrong. Taking a fully charged cellphone is probably a good idea as well. You never know what might happen.
Thanks, Billy
Kia Ora Opeti,
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to see that you've selected the honourable Helen Clark. However, when I click on the link that you've provided, I don't have permission to view your template. Could you potentially give me access to this, so that I can reward you with full points?
Helen Clark is now doing some pretty incredible things with her time, do you have any idea what that might be?
Cheers,
Jordan.
