Most importantly you NEED a first aid kit.

Planning your trip

• You need to find the place you want to go to.
• let the owner know if and when you going there.

Tell someone

• Contact friends or family that you're going.
• Tell as many people as you can what your car number plate is.
• Tell them when you should be back just in case of an emergency.

Be aware of the weather

• Check the weather forecast.
• If the weather is not good for your location, bad luck go another time.
