Please note, all participants are advised to wear
appropriate attire (e.g., jacket and rain wear) and footwear (e.g., hiking
shoes or workboots) and be prepared for some trail walking (500 m) through variable
terrain (e.g., maximum of 20-30 degree upward and downward slopes) and forest
conditions (e.g., shrubs, saplings, around and over small diameter logs
(<20 cm)), possibly in hot (25-30 C) or wet weather. |
