Conference Opening Ceremony

Unsuccessful traveling companion or companion can ruin any hike. Gender and age are less important than psychological compatibility. It is important that with the composition of the group all participants were agreed before the hike.

The goals of a hike can be very diverse, it is important to define and agree with participants the primary and secondary goals that will be performed in the group during the hike. Some value in a campaign athleticism, others go camping “to rest, not to strain,” and others like hiking because of the berries, mushrooms, and fishing.

Depending on the objectives of the hike you need to choose the appropriate route. It is most important that the route you want to pass, was within the power of all participants of the group.

In studying the materials on the completed hikes, you should pay attention to the following points:
– what are the main obstacles encountered along the route;
– on what dates the hike was done;
– what weather prevailed during the trip;
– how the hikers got to the start of the route and how they left;
– the main sights encountered along the route;
– conclusions and recommendations.

Route development includes route choice, options of throw-in and throw-out from the route. Detailed study of the obstacles encountered along the route and the most difficult parts. Their descriptions, landmarks, nature and elements of each particular obstacle, options for passing and bypassing (obnosa).
