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 />
