Safety and keep-healthy tips:
- Walk in comfortable shoes/boots.
- Bring something for the heat (hat & sunblock), and something for the cold and rain (water proof).
- Bring water and a snack.
- Bring curiosity - we will walk at the pace of the slowest and stay together.
- Leave your valuables behind - I have a donated phone so we are able to call in an emergency and no one else needs to bring a phone (but obviously your choice).
- Track your walk on Strava using your own device. If you leave your device behind, ask me to share the Strava walk with you.
- Our best safety is a numbers - please encourage others to join. Bring your dog.
- Thank you to the Saartjie Baartman Centre for some Power2You safety bags which include pepper spray and whistles.
Alternatively, ride, run or swim wherever you are.
