Planning a route is important because you need to know the safest route to travel because
if it is not planned people can get lost or injured and then this can
eventually lead to someone’s death

# data[].attributes.body
Route planning is important because you have to know that the
route is safe to walk and that there are no dangers.

# data[].attributes.body
you will always need to rout plan because it prepares people and lets them see where they are actually going. Also it is good in case you get lost because you will have a rough idea of where you go to last.

# data[].attributes.body
A route plan is important to have as it allows an individual or a group of people to prepare for a trip into the hills. It allows people to acquire the right equipment like boots, waterproofs etc. as well as allowing people to know where exactly it is they are going. Also if people get lost they will have a rough idea of where they are and thus will allow them to either continue with the trip or go home.

# data[].attributes.body
When planning to go some where like up a mountain you and others going with you need to know where you are going exactly and what type of path you will be taking. Also people at home or college will need this knowledge so in case something happens and they worry you aren't home they can check up on your route plan. Another thing is you can make check points on the route plan if someone get's lost you know what points they might be at.

# data[].attributes.body
So you and your group know where you’re going, in case you get lost you will be able to get a reference point. Others will need to know that are not in the group like Banbridge campus will need to know In case you are not back in time, they can check what route you are on.

An escape plan is needed as if something goes pair shaped along the root then you have a backup plan to get off the mountain safely already prepared without needing to try and make one up on the spot which can be time consuming and depending on the situation it can become more dangerous. This is why you need several excape plans along the root like checkpoints so no matter where you are on the root you have a way to get off the mountain.

# data[].attributes.body
An escape plan is necessary in case something has been blocked on your path, and you are unable to move forward.

it is also used in the case of an emergency, such as bad weather has just hit and it isn't the wisest idea to back track the way you came up in case of steep hills, continuous ditches, etc.

Escape plans are important in case something goes wrong, you have a route to get you back to the starting point

# data[].attributes.body
Grid references are important as they can clearly identify the location of checkpoints, rather than relying on local knowledge. they also prevent ambiguity as to which junction, hill top or valley is meant. They can also assist in the event of an incident, i.e. if the leader knows the grid reference from reading off the route, rather than having to work itout then and there, it cuts down the pressure.

Permission slips are important to have for planning a day out, as if they are under 18, they will need permission from a parent/guardian.

Permissionslips are also important as the staff will need to be aware of any medical conditions before they head out, in case they need any special treatment (asthma inhalers, etc.)
