2 INTRODUCTION Sutherland Bushwalkers Club provides opportunities for safe bush sports activities. Membership is open to all 18 years of age and over and currently stands at approx. 300 members. The club meets on the last Wednesday of each month (except Jan and Dec) at the Sutherland Council Stapleton Avenue Community Centre, cnr. Stapleton Ave & Belmont St, Sutherland at 7.00 pm. For membership enquiries and/or further information, see the club s website, us at info@sutherlandbushwalkers.org.au, or write to us at our post office box. BOOKINGS It is imperative that bookings are made directly with the Activity Organiser. At least 4 days notice for one-day activities and 10 days for o/night activities should be given if you wish to participate. Frequently there is a limit on the number of people, so it is best to book early. Visitors are welcome on activities if the Activity Organiser agrees. MEETING AND DEPARTURE TIMES The time and conditions for meeting and departing cannot be extended to wait for those who are late. If you find that you are not able to attend, please advise the Activity Organiser immediately. This may allow another person to attend when numbers are limited. TRANSPORT Car pooling is recommended. Where transport is by car, travel costs are shared between passengers. The following formula is suggested for sharing transport costs: calculate contribution of each person by doubling the cost of fuel and dividing by the number of occupants, including the driver, and share equally any additional costs, eg entrance fees, road tolls etc. GRADES One day walks: Start with a Grade 1 or grade 2 walk if you haven t been on a full day bushwalk before. Start with a Grade 3 or Grade 4 day walk if you have some experience. O/night walks: These require more experience and fitness than day walks of an equivalent grade so try some day walks of a higher grade before attempting an o/night walk. All activities: Grading is subjective and cannot take into account all possible factors so if you are uncertain about the grade, the experience and fitness required or the terrain, ask for advice. Club activities are generally graded on a scale of 1 to 6: On an activity Graded 4 or above you could encounter off track sections and/or exposed areas at any time. Some activities come with more risk than others. An Activity Organiser may exclude any participant who may have difficulty completing the planned activity. Easy (1) Opportunity for large number of walkers, including those with reduced walking ability to walk on well-marked and even tracks. Tracks are man-made and may have a few steps. Should not be steep. Suitable for beginners. Distance should not exceed 10 km. Easy/Medium (2) Easy walk, mostly on tracks of low gradient. Opportunity to walk easily in natural environments on wellmarked tracks. Tracks should not be steep. Distance should not exceed 15 km. Medium (3) Some hilly sections &/or rougher terrain. Opportunity to walk on defined and distinct tracks, with some steep sections you will require a reasonable level of fitness. Distance should not exceed 20 km. Medium/Hard (4) Steeper, rougher terrain & may have off-track sections (up to 50% or more, depending on terrain) or a longer distance track walk. Opportunity to explore and discover relatively undisturbed natural environments, mostly along defined and distinct tracks. Tracks can be steep. There may be short sections of rock scrambling involved. Activity Organisers should have map reading abilities and/or the ability to use a compass. Distance depends on circumstances. Not suitable for beginners. Hard (5-6) Strenuous walking over difficult terrain, much of which can be unfamiliar. Only suitable for fit and experienced walkers possessing navigation skills. Many people who haven t walked off-track before find these walks extremely difficult. The descriptions above refer only to bushwalking trips. Where these grades are applied to other activities (eg cycling), the descriptions no longer apply but a similar level of fitness and experience is required. More information is available on our web site. SAFE BUSHWALKING, SEARCH AND RESCUE Safety Before and After Your Activity Participants: Leave a description of activity with a friend or authority and advise them when you are expected to return. Leave the name and a contact number of the Activity Organiser or a Club Committee Member in case they have any concerns. On your return let your contact know you are back. Activity Organisers and Participants: Consider carrying a PLB (personal locator beacon). PLB s are used for serious emergencies or life-threatening situations. In the event of being lost or a medical incident first call is to Emergency services on Triple Zero 000 The Emergency Services will initiate Bush Search and Rescue NSW (BSAR) if required. Handy App for All : A Smartphone App Emergency + is a national app to assist people to call the right number at the right time, from anywhere in Australia. The app uses a mobile phone s GPS. Emergency+ also includes SES and Police Assistance Line numbers as options, so that non-emergency calls are made to the most appropriate number. TRIP REPORT All Activity Organisers must complete a Trip Report and a Risk Waiver form for the activity. Forms can be downloaded off Club s website.
