Q6 What tips and advice do you have for other travellers on walking, hiking or just taking in a destination on foot?


A6 #pttravel It's oft-repeated advice but ... tell someone where you're going, and what time you expect to be back, and wear comfortable shoes.

A6 #PTTravel I think it's most important to know what your body can take, don't overdo it. I can do 15 miles around a city, but I routinely walk 4 miles in an hour. Also, know what it is you want to see & have a map or map app in your phone.

A6: Start early, be prepared, have the right footwear, drink water, hire a guide if you're worried/unsure of route, if hiking is the main reason of or your trip - start getting your fitness levels up before you travel #PTTravel


A6 If trapped inside for a prolonged time, make the transition to hiking gradually -- a few laps around the yard, a couple times around the block, stroll a mile or so. Be sure to say hi to strangers. They might be your family. #PTTravel

A6 Walking enables you to really get a feel for a city and find little hidden gems. Do read up and take advice about clothing/equipment to take with you on a proper hike, particularly in the mountains - in many places the weather can change really really quickly! #pttravel

A6 I know it’s a bit simple but it’s good to stretch before you start so your muscles won’t cramp as much #pttravel

A6 In warm locations start early and then take plenty of pit-stops as the heat starts to take effect. And even I'm going to say alternate between your tipple of choice and water to keep hydrated. Bet you'd never thought you would hear that from me! #PTTravel
