Guidelines For Happy Hiking

For the Powell River Weekend Hiking Group

Please sign in at start of hike and remember to SIGN OUT upon return so that leader can account for everyone.
For safety reasons – please no dogs or small children.
Do not wear perfume – it attracts wasps.
Smoking is not welcomed.
Stay behind the leader – if you forge ahead you are on your own. Should you decide to stop or go back ADVISE LEADER.
If you find yourself alone and between groups and come to a fork in the trail and are uncertain of route WAIT.
Hikers are requested to play it safe always caring for each other and respecting the responsibility felt by the hike leader. However, you attend entirely at your own risk so know your limitations.
