The summer days are here and that means heading outdoors for fun days in the sun; there experts share how to stay safe while hiking this season.
South Africa (14 November 2024) – The Green Noise podcast by CapeNature is back with another gem of an episode, this time highlighting how to stay safe while hiking. Host Dan Corder is joined by seasoned hikers Khalid Chogle and Louise White as they talk tips, hiking trends and what to do if you find yourself in a “perilous situation”.
The Western Cape is a popular hiking destination, with the iconic Table Mountain taking centre stage, but surrounding areas and more far-flung destinations like the Cedarberg have some unbelievable places to catch the views, some with stunning waterfalls to boot! On a hot day, those hikes are all the more popular.
So before getting your hiking besties together, Dan, Khalid and Louise go over how to make your safety a top priority! Khalid Chogle is the founder of Adventure Rocks and Louise White is the Hi-Tec Brand Manager.
Some of the tips they cover include:
- Never underestimate the difficulty of a trail or your fitness level.
- Always check the weather.
- Be prepared to hike in all four seasons in one day, and make sure you wear the right gear for the right terrain.
