KHC Hiking Etiquette

Kamloops Hiking Club Posted on March 11, 2024 by Monika TakiJune 10, 2024

Some KHC Hiking Etiquette Guidelines Conversations on the trail should be kept at a respectful conversational level/volume so that other members of the group do not have to hear the dialogue.   A number of our members also like to listen for the sounds of nature while out hiking on the trails. Turn down the volume on your mobile device while out on group hikes. Group hikes should be scent-free since someone else may be right behind you on a single track trail. If taking a break, move off the trail a ways to allow others to pass by unobstructed. Hikers going downhill yield to those hiking uphill. When relieving yourself outdoors, be sure to do so 100 feet away from … Continue reading →

Hike Leader Bios, Avatar, Widget, and Status

Kamloops Hiking Club Posted on March 11, 2024 by Monika TakiJune 10, 2024

A few years ago, the Board of Directors decided that having authors’ bios would be a good thing for the Club, since it provided information on the kinds of hikes and goals for any event.   Hike leaders at that time were asked to complete their bios, upload an avatar/image, and update their profile.   Many did, but not all.   Reminders were added in newsletters and posts. At this time, the author’s bio and avatar is appearing in a stylized widget at the bottom of any event they post (automatically).   For any hike leader who has not completed their bio, we have inserted a simple sentence and we have uploaded an avatar for them.   This keeps all events looking the same … Continue reading →

Newsletter

  • KHC Newsletter – Mar. 1, 2026

    As the end of winter approaches, KHC shifts to hiking the trails, first at lower elevations, and as each week goes by, to higher trails.    There are hundreds of routes to choose from (link), and hike leaders pick the ones they will lead for the current conditions for the dates chosen.    Members can also suggest other hikes (contact us).   In most weeks, 3 or more events are published, but we can do more if more members can help to lead a hike. Membership renewal started February 1st and many members have completed the process.    Since the membership year has now ended, unrenewed memberships will have user accounts changed to Past Member with no access to logging in, registering for events, nor commenting.    Past members can still renew by completing the waiver and paying the membership dues by e-transfer.   New memberships are being received each day and will continue through March and April.   We anticipate having between 120 and 150 members by May 1st.   The goal is to have the right number of members to match the spaces available on events. Welcome to all new members.    You will have received a welcome email and information about logging in to the website to book a spot on a hike.    All of the other information you may need can be found on a website page, so take the time to browse through the site (go to the Menu Bar at the top and hover your cursor on a title or tap with your finger on a mobile).   We look forward to hiking with you this upcoming year. Events are posted onto the website as each hike leader picks a date for an outing.    Going to the website on a regular basis will mean you have early access to spots on a hike.    Hike leaders limit the size of the group to make them more manageable, and the number varies for each leader and event.    We can usually add one more person to an event, though (contact the leader). A few events are listed as Draft Events, meaning they are planned in advance, but not yet finalized.    Click on the event for more information. Some of the key volunteer members who have taken on jobs/tasks for the Club will either be traveling abroad or dealing with health issues over the next few weeks.   There may be a few gaps, adjustments, or delays in support over the next period of time.   We wish safe travels and successful recovery to these KHC members. There will be a New Members Hike coming early in March.    It will be a local hike tailored to new members and there will people available to answer questions.   Members who have renewed can join the hike if there are spaces still open closer to the scheduled date.   Watch for the new event on the website. Our KHC AGM is scheduled for April 12 and all members are welcome to attend.    The business end of the event will be short.    The President’s Report and the Financial Report will be published to the website in advance, so the main focus will be the election of officers and any discussions or questions that arise.   There will be a draw for 2 free memberships for the following year for 2 persons who attend the AGM. The KHC year ahead will feature events each week, a few trips, and many days of hiking.    We are always looking for more leaders so if you can help, please contact us.   See you on the trails…
