Before departure:

• Check current park alerts, track information and weather forecasts

• Select a route suited to your experience, fitness and available daylight

• Carry sufficient drinking water, food and suitable sun and weather protection

• Take appropriate navigation and communications equipment

• Exercise care on steep, exposed, rocky or wet surfaces
