Do you know where you're going?  No hiker sets out without a trail map and compass, and neither should a hiker head out without an idea of where they are going.   Some may find wandering around a bit lost to be enjoyable, but most people find it frustrating or scary. Your hike leader should know the route well so if you are on an organized hike you wont have to worry –hopefully at least not with me :)

Hiking Events

Attending a hiking event relieves you of some of the responsibility for planning your route.  You still need to figure out how to get to the event.  Most hikes/walks have a route diagram available to study, often on their websites, such as this site.
