>Whatever you do, bring lots of water, and drink it.
Hi
But don't do what I once did on what should have been a long,
overnight, one-way, solo hike in Canyonlands - I say "should have"
because I actually made better time than expected so it only took one
day and I didn't need to overnight.
I did what I was supposed to do and drank lots of water - plus lots of
Gatorade - then realized to my horror that I had drunk the lot with
several miles - and several hours - still to hike.
There was no problem; the Ranger Station knew where I was going and
what time I was expected back; and my wife had been given instructions
to check the pick-up point every hour or so, starting the previous
evening in case I arrived early (it was just as well she did). She
found me happily snoozing by the side of the road having thoroughly
enjoyed the walk. But.................!!!
However, things could potentially have turned out differently and it
is certainly a (no doubt classic) mistake I have never made again.
Regards
KGB
