    Default Anyone on here do any hicking

    Im getting into doing some walking and I'm doing the three peaks yorkshire challenge for a cause close to our family. Any advice would be great on how to prepare. It will be in late April so all my kits ready for any weather up there.

    A GPS with some kind of tracker could be useful. I have a friend who's dad went hiking in Spain earlier this year and hasn't been seen since. It's though that he fell from a mountain path but the undergrowth in the ridges is so thick that without any form of tracker they're unlikely to ever find his body.

    I also have another friend who's currently hiking the length of New Zealand (I think he's about 1/2 way down the South Island now) and from his Facebook updates I can imagine his top tip would be to pack spare boots!!
