health & safety
General
It is important that both team
members stick together at all
times. It is your responsibility to
ensure that you stay with your
team mate at all times. Should
he/she be in trouble, you
should contact the necessary
backup and leave him/her only
with the express permission of
Farmer Glen.
First Aid Kit
This should comprise a foil
survival blanket, three first-aid
dressings, five adhesive
first-aid plasters and sun block.
Sunburn
Riding sani2c can be very hot.
We recommend the use of
very high factor sun block and
that this should be re-applied
throughout the day.
Heat
Temperatures above 35°C
could be experienced in
the Umkomaas Valley. It is
important to prepare for this
and wear the appropriate
clothing and protection. The
rules state that you carry a
minimum of three litres of
fluids with you. We recommend
that you maintain this level by
refilling at all the water tables
along the route. One wrong
turn in the African bush and
you could see yourself
hallucinating with the mambas
of the Umkomaas Valley.
Cold
It can be very cold overnight
and in the early morning. Please
pack warm, protective clothing
for colder temperatures.
Snakes
The Umkomaas Valley is home
to the infamous black mamba.
Please be aware of this and
google these guys!
Bees
Bees are prolific among the
gum plantations and farmers
place beehives in the area.
If you are allergic to bee stings,
we recommend that you carry
your antihistamine with you
on the ride.
