+.Rely on your memory - someone else led you there before.
+.Always reckon on 30 miles per day - 25 if it is very rugged.
+. Don't tell anyone where you are going. If you do, tell a non-walker and tell them verbally. It means nothing to them.
+.On long hard trips never start before 10am.
+. Don't trouble about getting back. There may be a train or bus.

+And, of course, the extra. special way of getting into strife is separating. You recall the little boy who considered it was all right to find a grub in apple but thought it a poor show find half a grub. That's the S&R reaction to split parties. Its tough going trying to find a lost party at times ; trying to find the raggle taggle scattered straying bits of a lost group is murder. Please, please keep the party together, particularly in tough country, more particularly if they include inexperienced walkers.
