Notes:
- No smoking and no bear bell(s). I know there is a concern about bear attacks around Japan, but bells have not been shown to be consistently effective. Group conversation and walking sounds are said to be better deterrents.
- By coming to this event, you are agreeing that you are responsible for your own safety. I have no survival or first aid skills.
- Bring 1.0-1.5L of water/soft drink and a lunch. Bring more water if you think you will need it. With warmer weather, you will sweat more.
- Weather can change unexpectedly, so dress in layers.
- You will get sweaty, so I recommend a towel. Shoes will get dirty.
- No meetup fee thanks to Liliya (group owner).
- If the weather forecast looks bad, I will cancel the hike.
