Safety Tips

Please read the full Health and Safety instructions carefully - it includes some useful information 

Preparation:

• Consider the weather! Please dress appropriately and wear boots or shoes suitable for countryside walking or running. Remember that you may need a hat and sunscreen. Please make sure that you take enough water and snacks for your party – some younger members may need little incentives!
• Please also consider which part of the route you intend to walk as access on some parts of the route is more difficult than in others and not may not be suitable for wheelchair or pushchair access in some places due to stiles, small gates, muddy, narrow or overgrown paths, so it is advised that you choose routes you know to be possible.

Carry a mobile phone in case you need help. 

Install WHAT3WORDS on your smart phone and learn how to use it. This way you can see your location within a 3-metre square which you could give to others by phone if you are lost or need assistance.

Be Careful:

• BEWARE of danger from fast cars especially if you choose an alternative route. Better to try to stay on the route shown on the map which avoids as many roads as possible.
• Take extra care when crossing roads - look right, left, then right again - don't run - all cross together as soon as it is safe to do so if you are in a group. Use pelican and pedestrian crossings where available
• If you start as a group, then stay together, don't leave anybody behind. Always look out for others in your group and if you see somebody else who looks like they may be in trouble, ASK THEM IF THEY ARE OK.
• Call the Lions on 07817 886 002 if you have any difficulties.
• In a medical EMERGENCY phone 111 after taking careful note of your location.

We hope you have a lovely day and raise lots of money for your local school and the Lions Ukraine Appeal at the same time!
