Trekking Days (en)

This is a project designed for both those who want to approach this discipline for the first time and for those that practice it already and would like to learn more.
It is not a proper training class, but an opportunity to take advantage of the experience of a certified environmental guide.
The trekking has always been more than a physical acitvity but with time it has also become a philosophy. Good excursionists need to learn to live in a group, manage unexpected events calmly and learn how to listen to their body in order to optimize their energy. Last but not least, they need to learn how to remove anything superfluous from their rucksack and their mind.

Three to five expeditions, most likely on Saturday mornings, exploring the more typical places of our valley, "from which the Bisenzio cascades"such as described by Dante in the Inferno - canto 32.
During the excursions we will tackle some technical issues such as:
- EQUIPMENT: some notions to help you buy equipment based on your needs
- SUPPLIES: how to eat and drink while trekking for several days in the mountains
- PSYCHO-PHYSICAL PREPARATION: how to go about evaluating your preparation and choosing the appropriate itinerary.
We will also practice some methods to trek on trails of varying difficulty:
- ORIENTEERING: simple and practical notions to orient in the mountains
- SECURITY: some security manoeuvers to overcome obstacles and manage unexpected events.
