CMW Guide to Bushwalking
The club has put together a CMW Guide To Bushwalking with information on how to join a walk, what to take, suggestions on food that will keep you sustained, etiquette in the bush, map and compass use, together with a checklist of gear to take on a typical walk.
People new to overnight walking will find the guide particularly useful, and will hopefully answer many of your questions.
