Trekking guides 行山指引
On the move 活動進行中
Regardless whether you are going to follow a marked trail in the mountains or in low-lying terrain or if you are going to create your own path, you must be comfortable using a map and compass. Reading the landscape and tracking your progress on the map not only makes the trek safer, but also more fun since you become aware of what is around you.
By studying the map in advance and setting up appropriate daily goals, you can plan your route and find places to take a break, things to see and potential campsites. Also, remember to plan the route so you do not have to ford streams often, and when it is unavoidable, so you ford them in the safest locations possible.
不管您計畫沿著山區或低地的標示山徑前行，或者打算自己摸索路徑，都務必熟悉地圖和指南針的操作。讀懂地圖上的地形，運用地圖追蹤進度，不僅可以提高活動的安全性，同時能在旅途中得到更多樂趣，因為您會因此留意周遭環境。
藉由事先研究地圖，設定合理的每日目標，有助於我們規畫路線、選定休息地點，且可以想好途中不可錯過的事物和可能的紮營點。此外，規畫路線應盡量避開需要涉水的走法，無可避免時，要盡量選擇最安全的位置過河。
