For your safety<br />

Trampers should be well equipped, fit and self‑sufficient.<br />

Poor visibility due to mist on the tops can make route finding<br />

and orientation difficult. The terrain is <strong>of</strong>ten rough. Rain and<br />

flooded streams can alter your plans and freezing conditions<br />

can occur at any time <strong>of</strong> year. It is recommended that you leave<br />

your intentions with a friend or relative prior to the start <strong>of</strong> your<br />

trip. There is also a website www.adventuresmart.org.nz where<br />

outdoor intentions can be logged. Remember to notify them<br />

when you have completed your trip. It is advisable to carry a<br />

GPS and an emergency beacon (hire outlets are listed on<br />

www.beacons.org.nz).<br />

Remember: your safety is your responsibility.<br />

To report any safety hazards in the outdoors call:<br />
