THE COUNTRYSIDE CODE

LIGHTING FIRES IS FORBIDDEN

Dry leaves and pine needles catch fire very easily
A forest fire can spread extremely quickly, destroying trees and plants, which will take decades to recover
Please do not be careless if you need to smoke in the mountains

PROTECT THE FLORA AND THE FAUNA

It is forbidden to pick wild flowers, which are legally protected
Try not to disturb the wild animals
Beware of snakes !!
For your protection we carry snake-bite serum
Only the Blunt-nosed Viper is dangerous, but it is usually a shy creature
Common Black snakes and lizards are harmless

PLEASE DO NOT DROP RUBBISH

Take it ALL home with you
Respect the normally clean and beautiful countryside
We will in fact carry with us a spare rubbish bag, to collect as much as we can of the rubbish left by thoughtless others on the mountain

PLEASE BE QUIET

One of the main attractions of the mountains for most people is the silent and peaceful atmosphere
Do not spoil this for others by being too noisy !

IF YOU ARE LOST

Don't panic !
Go to the last place you were together with your walking group and wait
DO NOT try to go off alone
Use your mobile telephone to call the Guide in charge

REMEMBER THIS

TAKE ONLY PHOTOGRAPHS
AND LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS
