1.Nature of the journey, the route and the destination;
2.Date and time of the event, as well as the estimated finishing time;
3.Number of participants and their age.

Hikers tend to fall off over slippery paths easily in such a case the best prevention that one should use are anklet boots, walking over wet rock surfaces, muddy paths and sandy badlands can also be taken in to consideration

In the event of an accident and when someone got injured, check if he has any sprain, fracture abrasion or other injuries if necessary give first aid. If a fracture occurs he should do so with the aid of a walking stick or with support of other companions.
