Staying safe on the trail

- Roads and waterways: Use designated pedestrian crossings and keep children supervised near roads, canal towpaths, and tramlines.
- Weather & terrain: Check local daylight hours and weather before setting out. Wear sensible footwear suited to cobbles, stone pavements, and inclines.
