City on its Feet

Some simple tips to adapt to winter walking

• Buddy up with someone from your group and arrange to phone and encourage each other to walk if the weather is uncertain. You know there’ll be at least 2 of you there!!

• Wear layers (including water proofs if it looks like rain) so you’re prepared for all weather.

• Choose your route according to the weather. Consider the least windy route and options to duck for cover if it looks like rain.

• Watch out for traffic. Driver visibility can be poor through wet or foggy wind screens.

• Take extra care if conditions are slippery.
