Walking or running outdoors always requires common sense and judgement. Here are some tips to keep yourself safe:
- West Sussex has some great chalky terrain but it can be slippery in the wet, so be careful
- Take extra care when crossing busy roads
- Be wary around farmyards, particularly where there is machinery and livestock
- Although one of the UK’s sunniest places, remember that the weather can quickly change
- Always take some water and a hat with you in hot weather and wrap up well in the cold
- Keep your mobile phone charged up in case of an emergency
- Don’t wear headphones and listen to music too loudly so you can hear what’s around you
Additionally, it goes without saying but as nature-lovers we’d like our county to stay litter-free. Please take your rubbish with you.
