There are always things that you forget
when planning an exercise such as Spartan Hike.
To try and ensure that you forget the
minimum amount of things a list of useful tips has been constructed
by the Spartan Hike Directing Staff.
If you have any useful tips for the
exercise that are not included in our list, please contact the webmaster (see home page)
and we will be happy to include them for the benefit of other participants
in the exercise. |

Useful
Tips
-
Take a Kettle as the French do
not use them
-
Take a mug each as French tradition
involves drinking hot drinks from bowls.
-
Take snow chains for the passage
over the Col du Lautaret.
-
Begin the planning phase for the
exercise well in advance to ensure that you have enough time to
complete the preparations.
-
Try and obtain sponsorship for
your exercise to offset some of the costs.
-
Buy any new equipment in France
as it is generally cheaper and you can get some good discounts in
resort.
-
Do some pre-exercise fitness training
before departing for the exercise.
-
Call the Col du Lautaret information
line (useful contacts page) if the weather is bad as it can be closed
in extreme weather conditions.

Get your grant applications in
early to ensure you can get the money before you depart on the exercise.
