SET 75: HIKING/TREKKING
1. Imagine you are planning a hiking trip with friends. Describe how you would go
about selecting the perfect trail for your group. Consider factors such as difficulty
level, scenic views, distance, and any specific points of interest along the trail.
2. You’ve just returned from an exhilarating trek to a remote mountain peak. Write a
journal entry describing your favorite moment from the hike. What made it so
special, and how did it make you feel?
3. You’re leading a group of first-time hikers on a beginner-friendly trail. However,
one of the members starts feeling anxious and unsure midway through the hike.
How would you handle this situation and motivate them to continue and
overcome their fears?
4. While on a challenging trek, you and your fellow hikers encounter unexpected
bad weather, forcing you to take shelter for an extended period. Describe how you
would keep the group spirits high and maintain everyone’s safety during this
unplanned break.
5. You’ve decided to embark on a solo overnight hiking trip to a remote and less-
traveled trail. Write a detailed account of your adventure, including the unique experiences you had, the wildlife you encountered, and the lessons you learned
from being in solitude amidst nature.
