Before setting off, how about checking:
- the weather
- the tide times, in the case of a seaside route.
- the weather & the length of the route, so you don’t get caught out at night!
- the difficulty of the route
- its return by public transport, you can consult the page “Getting around”
- its equipment
We plan:
- Comfortable clothing, hiking shoes, we avoid flip-flops & stilettos!!
- A windbreaker just in case and yes we are in Brittany! But we’re also planning sun cream and sunglasses, because yes we’re in Brittany!
- A bath towel for impromptu swims!
- What to eat and what to drink!
- A camera for the vintages or a smartphone
- Prevention: Beware of selfie accidents! Either you’re out of focus or you fall off!
- The smartphone is also useful for GPS and the Saint-Malo Tour App with all the walks in our destination.
- A good old hiking guide and a compass can also do the trick!
The right gestures
In order to preserve all these landscapes and environments that we appreciate so much, a few right gestures, to keep in mind, are essential in order to preserve the landscape as you left it.
- I stay on existing, signposted paths, roads and cycle and mountain bike routes
- I don’t use paths that are off-limits to bikes
- I avoid locking my wheels when braking
- I don’t pick plants and I don’t take animals
- hush! I avoid unnecessary noise (shouting, music), particularly at dawn or dusk when animals are carrying out a large part of their vital activity
- I do not leave my waste on the site, even biodegradable waste. Some organic waste takes several months to disappear completely and enriches the soil
