What you need to know ... Newcomers - welcome to Sunday hiking
Welcome to the Johannesburg Hiking Club.
We recommend you take note of the following when planning to join in on a Sunday hike.
Print the on line form and take this with you, in order for the leader of the day to sign off the hike.
Make sure you have the correct Sunday meeting place. Check the programme but if you are not sure, please contact our administrator.
The meeting time is 08h00 (unless otherwise stated in the programme).
A certain degree of fitness is necessary, as most hikes include a steep climb to the escarpment.
Please wear strong takkies or preferably hiking boots which have been worn in.
It is advisable to wear two pairs of socks.
2lts of water must be carried on all day hikes.
Pack a suitable picnic lunch and some snacks to nibble.
A sunhat and sun cream are necessary.
Always have a rain coat and a jacket or warm top. Temperatures vary drastically, especially in storms.
A day ruck sack is required in order for your items to be kept together and carried on your back.
If a braai has been stated on the programme, you need to bring a plate, cutlery and whatever food/drink you require. The fire will be provided.
At the meeting point, complete the non member attendance register, pay the fee and if you require a lift let the leader of the day know.
A good idea for the end of the hike is: to put a cold drink into a small cooler box and keep this in your car. After a long hot hike, there is nothing nicer than a cool drink.
We hope you will enjoy your hiking experience with us.
