10 tips for your field trips with your family
To enjoy the excursions to the family as much as possible, whether you go to a rural house, or make a punctual excursion or your son who goes to a mountain camp, he always has to take:
1.- Footwear and adequate clothing. Wear transpire T-shirts and comfortable shoes for long walks is essential for activities such as hiking. Never forget that although it is not an exercise like going for a run, it is a physical activity.
2.- Sunscreen. Even if you are on the beach, you are going to spend hours under the Astro Rey during which burns may occur if the proper measures are not taken. Always carry cream factor that best suits the tone of your skin.
3.- A map where the route you are going to follow is indicated. It never hurts to know where you are treading and what direction you should take. In this sense it is also recommended to carry the mobile phone in case you need to make an emergency call at some point.
4.- Hydration. Do not forget that we are in summer and that a physical activity is being carried out. For this reason water should always be present to stay hydrated, especially if you are going with children.
5.- Mosquito repellents since these are very present in this medium. Especially in areas near streams and rivers. So as not to return with bites to the house, having these lotions against small suckers is essential.
And it is also essential:
6.- Always leave the field as we like to find it. Always carry a bag in which to keep the waste we generate and never throw them into the thicket. In this way, when you reach one of the collection points, we will make sure that the mountain is as clean as when we arrived.
7.- Be realistic. Before choosing a route or another, make sure it adapts to your physical condition and do not face more kilometers than you or yours can face. It's about having fun, not about breaking records.
8.- Opt for bicycle tours. If you are one of these people, remember to always carry the right equipment: helmet, knee and elbow pads; plus an express repair kit if a puncture occurs.
9.- Check the weather forecast before starting any excursion. A rain in the middle of the road can make this day become a stroll through a muddy area that is difficult to finish.
10.- Carry enough provisions. You never know when someone will be hungry and it is always good to have something to put in your mouth and not run out of energy in the middle of this physical activity.
