Instructors will formally step back to allow group members to apply their learnings from previous Adventurous Journeys. Team members are expected to problem-solve and work together to achieve their final sign-off. Instructors will continue to ensure the safety of the group and intervene, if necessary.

CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
Please download our Clothing and Equipment Checklist to assist you with your preparation.
WHAT TO WEAR
We recommend that you have two sets of clothing; one to wear while walking and one to wear at night. Polypropylene, wool/merino and any outdoor 'quick dry' clothing are the best options and are preferred over cotton and non-breathable synthetics.
With footwear, trainers/running shoes are fine, however hiking boots with ankle support are best. Please ensure you wear your shoes in before the hike as they can cause hot spots or blisters.
