+=====Other Countries, Other Manners?=====
+The following has been extracted from the New Zealand journal, "Alpinesport". Though the writer obviously has in mind climbing under rather different conditions from those generally met by bushwalkers here it makes interesting reading. Perhaps an adaptation of these precepts by us would make easier the filling of the "leader" column of the Walks Programme:
+"There are certain walking manners, the observance of which will do much to promote the harmony of the party and save the leader's temper. If your leader sets the pace keep to it. If it is too slow for you, remember the slowest man for whom it is just right: that i8 why the leader does it. If your leader makes a slight error in the choice of route, do not pass him on a shorter line; even he is not infallible, andyour action implies a criticism of his judgment which is ill-deserved. Concede the mistake and take the longer way. If you are zig-zagging up an open hillside and each member of the party is choosing his own line, it is again good manners to see that your line, however widely spaced from the leader's, does not overtake the level at which he is climbing. Further, if you are converging ultimately on a common object such as the commencement of a track, or a large shady rock, it is his privilege to arrive there first so that he can decide the future movements of the party merely by going on or stopping. Always give your leader the opportunity of making a decision by action rather than by words. His position then becomes the less obvious. After negotiating a slightly steeper or more difficult piece of ground, check your pace when you come to easier terrain. It is annoying for the man behind you on the difficult section to see you forge ahead when he, perforce, has to slow down. When returning from a climb, successfu or otherwise, do not race ahead. Others are not as fresh as you and if someone should twist an ankle or slip on easy ground your help is useless a mile further down the track. For what shall it profit man if he gain the summit end lose his own party?"
