• I choose a route adapted to my level 🆗
• I ask about the weather conditions forecast ☀️
• I inquire about the status of my route. If my route is announced as closed, then I do not use it, because there is a risk for my safety ✅
• If I practice my activities with a dog, I inquire about the authorization and conditions of access with my animal 🦮
• I take the necessary equipment adapted to my practice (gloves, rainwear, sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, water, food, spare, first aid kit, survival blanket, map, mobile app…) 👟
• I warn my loved ones about my choice of route 📞
• In case of a sudden change in the weather, if the route is too difficult or if I am tired I know how to give up ☂️
• I close the fences after my passage, in order to guarantee the safety of the livestock and to respect the work of the breeders 🐄
• I do not feed the animals, I observe them from a distance and do not try to approach me 🐎
• I go around the herds if they are in my way and avoid sudden movements 🐐
• I avoid making too much noise to respect and have the chance to observe the life of the wildlife 🤫
• If I practice my activity with a dog, I know how to control it and make sure it does not disturb wildlife, livestock and other users
• I do not pick any flowers or plants and do not harm any plant species,🌿
• I do not throw any waste in nature, not even food scraps (cores, peelings, cheese rinds, egg shells, etc.). It is possible to do better: I pick some up if I see it on the ground! ♻️
