Proper diet on the route on a hiking trip. The mode and pace of movement in the campaign

When you have already chosen the travel area, prepared the route, gathered a team of like-minded people who are ready to go on this “adventure” with their children, you need to think about the tactics that you should follow in order to carry out the planned trip, after which you and your children should stay only good impressions from the time spent on the trip.

First of all, it is necessary to clarify what the concept of "tactics of hiking with children" includes. In theory sports tourism, campaign tactics is the whole complex of tasks, solutions, methods and means of achieving them, aimed at the successful and safe passage of the route. Simply put, and in relation to hiking with children, these are:

• choosing the correct order and schedule of movement on the route;
• determination of the daily regimen of the group;
• safety when traveling with children;
• educational elements in the campaign;
• organization of children's leisure.

The order and schedule of the movement in the campaign

In a hiking or mountain hike, before the start of the movement, the group is appointed from the adults leading and trailing, children always go between adults or together with adults. Children should not be allowed to lead the way - a child with a light backpack (or no backpack at all) can sometimes easily get ahead of the slowly (and boringly) walking main group and you will not be able to keep track of where he turned and where he went. The leader must know exactly when or where he should stop for the next rest or choice of parking place. If possible, the leader should look around to see how the whole group is walking and, if necessary, stop to wait for those who are lagging behind. The trailer should under no circumstances leave behind children and adults lagging behind (or turning behind a bush), and in case of a strong lag, he should give a sign - shout or whistle (the whistle must be taken from the house) so that those in front stop and wait.

Because V hiking to a greater extent, children are not tired of the process of movement itself, but the monotony and monotony of this movement; interesting places and observation of nature.

In a cycling trip, if the children ride bicycles on their own, the order of movement is the same as in a hiking trip. If the route partially passes along federal or regional roads, you need to move only along the sides of the roads, this is a little harder, but much safer. On a road that cars rarely drive on, it is imperative to ensure that children never drive into the middle of the road and explain that you can only drive on the right side.

Snacks on a bike trip can be arranged less often - after 30-40 minutes of movement - children usually like the process of cycling, and they get tired to a lesser extent.

IN water trip the crew of the first kayak (or other vessel) must clearly know when and where they must stop in order to wait for the whole group. It is better to agree on this before leaving, because. due to the noise of the water when the boat is moving, it can be difficult to shout to the kayak in front, even if it is in visible proximity.

If there are simple obstacles on the river, on which an accident could theoretically occur, in front of them or (if the crew is sure of successful passage) behind them, it is necessary to stop and secure the passage of the next vessel.

In front of complex obstacles, the whole group should gather to jointly inspect the obstacle, organize passage, belay or run-out. If it is decided that children will bypass the obstacle along the coast, it is necessary to reconnoiter the passage along the coast to the meeting point and appoint adults who will walk along the coast with the children. When passing lakes and reservoirs, the group should not stretch, ships should go in close proximity in order to provide assistance if necessary. In windy weather, when open water can rise a big wave, it is better to completely abandon the movement or move in the immediate vicinity of coastline. Do not forget that the child usually sits in a kayak without anything to do and he can quickly get bored with it. Try to make transitions no more than 30-40 minutes, making stops so that the children can warm up and have a snack on the shore, the net walking time per day should not exceed 4 hours. Don't forget to keep your child entertained while driving. interesting stories, fairy tales and stories.

day mode

The mode of each day of the hike depends on the type of hike (water, foot, etc.), the age of the children, the travel area, weather conditions and other factors.

In any case, the daily routine (wake up, breakfast, lunch, dinner, sleep) should not differ much from the one that the children are used to at home.

As a rule, the greatest loss of time on a hike with children occurs during the morning preparations. Try to think over in advance the order of your actions in the morning during the training camp. Involve the kids to help set up camp, pack backpacks, and prepare the kayak. The time saved in the morning can be used much more fruitfully later for games and other entertainment.

If you have a full day (not a half day) planned, it is better to plan a stop for lunch in advance, but if for some reason you are behind the schedule, you should not strive to get to the planned lunch place, stop at any suitable place. Otherwise, tired and hungry children can ruin your mood for the rest of the day. In hiking and cycling to prepare lunch, you must have with you plastic bottles for water at the rate of 1 liter per person. The water supply can be replenished along the way, if you are sure that you will be sure to pass by a source of water suitable for cooking. Depending on the type of trip, group composition, age and number of children, a hot lunch can take from 1.5 to 2.5 hours - if more, you should think about the organization of the participants in the trip.

Informative elements on a hike

When preparing for a hike, study the area in which your route will pass:

• his geological structure How were mountains and rivers formed? glacial lakes and so on.;
• the history of the area historical events took place in these lands;
• flora and fauna - what birds, animals and insects live in forests (mountains), what fish are found in rivers, what plants grow.

All this can be clearly told and shown during the trip, and it will be much more interesting and informative than reading an encyclopedia.

Organization of children's leisure

During the movement along the route, when the children are busy and the adults are vigilant, usually there are no emergencies. Experience shows that the main number of accidents occur during day breaks, snacks, smoke breaks, etc. In a word, when children have nothing to do, and their natural desire to know the world around them can turn into trouble. If there is a person on the trip (sufficiently responsible) who takes the initiative and acts as an organizer of all sorts of games, outings in the neighborhood and other entertainment for children, this will greatly (but not completely) facilitate childcare. In fact, such people are rare, so even at the stage of preparation for the trip, you should think about what games and entertainment can be organized for children during halts and days.

Try to involve them more often in helping to set up a camp, collect brushwood for a fire, organize fishing, picking berries, mushrooms and other useful things.

It is advisable to take small toys, souvenirs, gifts from home, which can be presented as prizes for participating in games and contests. It is important that there are enough of them for everyone, because the main thing is not victory, but participation.

Here are some games and activities you can do while camping.

• Treasure search (it is necessary to take from home what will be the treasure, as well as paper and felt-tip pens for drawing a treasure search map);
• Building a hut;
• Townships - sawing sticks for building figures and breaking them by throwing a ball or stick;
• With the ball - football, catch the ball, hit the target, etc .;
• With a rope - knitting knots, rope railing, tug of war, swing, bungee (in a safe place);
• With a map and compass - studying the map, determining the cardinal points, basic orientation skills.

Children on a hike always come up with some new (or unfamiliar) games of their own, and if these games are potentially dangerous for them, it is important not to forbid playing, but to take the initiative in your own hands and move the game in a safer direction. Having prepared well for the trip at home, both you and your children will enjoy the time spent together, regardless of the possible vagaries of nature and the difficulties along the way.

Discussion

According to the experience of an experienced hiking mother, the main thing in the success of a trip for children is the feelings of parents. If mom and dad are happy that they went out into the forest with a child, the child will also be happy and will do everything that he was taken into the forest next time. If one of the parents feels out of place in the forest, then the child will feel bad.

By the way, when I went to the cross-country skiing section (class 4-5th) - they ran at every training session, if the side suddenly got sick - the coach immediately began to control the "inhale-exhale" count, the pace of movement was not allowed to change.

Go to the class teacher, go to the teacher, go to the director. Call other parents, gather activists. It's not good - such lessons.

I don’t remember how many circles we ran in childhood, but I remember exactly that when my side hurt, the teacher said “just walk in circles until it passes.” Do not run with pain, it seems.

Once mine, but older, went on a hike in the Moscow region with a school fizruk. And when hiking with children, it is advisable to walk around (to keep moving), then put the Water closer to the body and in a plastic flask, and not in an aluminum one. To drink warm on the go.

There are several companies that provide bikes for rent. The rental price depends on the bike and the duration of the rental. In addition to a bicycle, you will also need bicycle backpacks and, possibly, some other equipment.
To go on a bike trip, first ride a day (about 60 km), then immediately 2 days (about 50 km each), then evaluate your strength. Please note that there will also be a load of several kg during the campaign, which also takes a significant part of the forces. Practice shows that children aged 10-12 do not withstand the adult pace of movement. Children need less daily mileage and more rest stops.
Go on a hike with the team where there will also be children, then your child will not be a significant burden for other members of the campaign.

Discussion

It seems to me easier to live separately and return to the topic of childcare as needed. Surely they're not babysitting him around the clock. Look for a job that will allow you to take care of the child yourself and resort to the help of relatives in case of emergency.

Conflicts are always caused by some reasons, and in fact, there is always a reason. Try to find a neutral friend, much older than you, or a psychologist and tell the details of the relationship. Perhaps there is a simple way out like to say something or not to say something. Perhaps it is given with an intermediary (in the person of a psychologist or a good common relative) to agree not to injure the grandson with scandals, in the Carnegie style of appealing to noble motives. Perhaps some kind of manipulation can help (like, if you, then I will go FAR away and will not see my grandson). But this is not solved from the conf, you need to see, know the details. From here, at most, you will be advised to disperse.

As an emergency option, can’t you (since the baby is still with your parents) leave to work somewhere for a month or two and relax for a start (on a business trip, work somewhere on the side in the summer, etc.)?

1. In our school, all trips to theaters and excursions are only on weekends and on vacation days (the position of the school administration). 2. Always parents wanting to go with a class more than necessary.

Discussion

1. In our school, all trips to theaters and excursions are only on weekends and on vacation days (the position of the school administration).
2. Always parents wanting to go with a class more than necessary. On excursions where the number of adults is limited (for example, they went to a confectionery factory) - priority is given to parents who ordered and arranged an excursion.
3. Nobody bothers to look after other children.
4. And yes, parents always pay for their ticket. (You can, after all, look from another point of view - why someone goes and looks after his child for other people's money).
5. I believe that in any case, a person is responsible only for his child. The teacher is for the whole class. Therefore, I don’t understand about the payment of what kind of work of parents are we talking about at all?

I would wait: while those who want to eat ride for their own, let them ride. That's when they all resolve and the question comes up point-blank, then offer this option: well, since no one wants, let's pay for the ticket for the escort - maybe then someone will agree?

In general, it seems to me that there can be no definite answer. It depends on the atmosphere in the classroom, on the quality and price of the events attended, on the degree of employment of parents, on the financial situation of families ... In some class there will always be a crowd of people who want to, but in some you will not find anyone. When there are many who want it, it is normal that they pay for themselves. When there are no people interested, it’s normal to offer to pay for their tickets. IMHO.

We went on this type of trip last year (with a slightly different program). Specially pick up "your" group so that there are no problems with different paces. In winter, I will not go on an _amateur_ campaign with children - there is not enough experience.

Discussion

We went on this type of trip last year (with a slightly different program). Specially pick up "your" group so that there are no problems with different paces. And as practice has shown, 10-15 km for children (the smallest was 6) is VERY difficult. Adults then passed - fell .. And children .. therefore, according to the experience of the first day, we reduced the transitions to 5 km. And we also had 3 days with transitions, 2 days for skiing and 2 excursions (Kivach and Marcial Waters), and if you go for many days in a row, it’s hard for the kids. I thought that if the child gets tired, then we will put him on a sled and take him in tow, but it was impossible to go like that, he was freezing without movement all over. Moreover, it seems like in the Moscow region - Moscow, 5-7 km each. ride regularly. Although, of course, I liked everything very much, but we had the opportunity to adjust the program of the trip for ourselves.

Why don't you ask them? They know exactly if you are late or not. I'm only afraid that you're already late with the train tickets. If there is a strong itch, you can try to get through St. Petersburg, I went like that in the summer, to St. Petersburg by bus (there were no cheap train tickets), and you can almost get trains from St. Petersburg to Petrozavodsk. You can definitely take a bus and there are trains.
Can Arkhangelsk region suggest: http://www.lache.kargopol.ru/htm/programms/prog18.htm
We didn’t go hiking with them, I can’t praise them, but we got to know each other briefly, they organized a transfer for us. Normal guys like that, they try.

Feed the kids on the go. gathered for once on a hike for five days - well, not on a hike, but to live in nature in tents with food from a fire. Along the way, fruits, liver snacked with tea.

The equipment includes items that tourists take with them in order to create conditions for maximum safety when passing the route, a certain comfort on the hike and the ability to successfully complete the tasks they face.

The equipment must be light and durable, allowing it to be used in conditions of cold, heat, high humidity, etc.

Equipment is divided into personal and group. Personal is used by the participant of the campaign and serves for his personal needs. Group equipment serves the needs of the group as a whole.

The most convenient for use on a hike are tents with a capacity of up to four people; mountaineering backpack designed by Abalakov, expeditionary backpack designed by Yarov and other frame backpacks. Preference should be given to backpacks made of strong dense fabric, having a sewn-in bottom of a rectangular or oval shape, wide shoulder straps, wide pockets and a wide flap-lid. Of the sleeping bags, zippered bags are especially convenient, unfolding like a blanket. In the cold season, such bags can be joined with zippers and made “collective” for 2-3 people, which creates the possibility of better mutual heating of the hikers. The best option for group dishes is a set of 3-4 buckets with an oval (bomb-shaped) bottom, inserted one into the other. Kitchen fire utensils also include pouring spoons (ladles), stirrers with a long handle, table oilcloth, canvas mittens, hooks, flyers.

Hiking boots are the most comfortable hiking shoes. They should be one size larger and freely worn over two socks: plain and woolen.

It is very important to be able to properly pack things in a backpack: put soft things (sleeping bag, jacket, sweater) against your back so that they form a soft cushion at the bottom; then put heavy things down to the back. Place everything else on top of heavy things so that the backpack stretches up, and does not take on the shape of a ball. At the very top, put things that you may need on the road or at the nearest halt. The person responsible for the equipment on the trip distributes all household items and monitors their safety.

The tourist's hands should be free, they can only have an alpenstock, an ordinary stick, an ice ax.

2.2. Hiking day schedule

The correct choice of the mode of movement, the rational distribution of one's forces, mastering the methods of movement on various terrain and methods of overcoming obstacles - all this makes it possible to successfully and safely pass the intended route.

The daily regimen should provide a certain rhythm in the alternation of loads and rest necessary for recuperation. For older teenagers and young men, the transition lasts no more than 40-45 minutes, and with increased complexity of the sections of the path - even less. Small halts usually last 10-15 minutes, and on difficult and difficult sections they reach 20-25 minutes. The mode of movement depends on the terrain, season, weather and other conditions. In the first half of the day, it is recommended to overcome no more than 60% of the daily transition. By dividing the day trip into even segments, the tourist has time to go through four or six sections of the route before lunch, and after lunch and rest - two or three more. The duration of lunch, afternoon rest, excursion and local history work in the afternoon can take at least 3-5 hours.

Approximate daily routine.

If the weather is hot, you should go on the route at 6-7 in the morning, which means you should get up earlier after sleep. At 10-11 o'clock the transitions of the first half of the day end. It is recommended to start the transitions of the second half of the day after the heat subsides, usually not earlier than 18 hours. Early rises and exits to the route are also beneficial in the mountains, where in the morning the water in the rivers has not yet risen, rockfalls happen less often and it is safer to pass in avalanche-like places.

The group must always go evenly and at the “tempo of the weakest” (therefore, the group is selected by equal strength and prepares for a serious campaign, raising the level of the weak to the average and stronger). The uniformity of movement helps to keep the strength, performance of tourists. To maintain the uniformity of movement, it is necessary to monitor the constancy of the number of steps in the same periods of time. Moreover, on rough terrain, the tourist's step lengthens on easy descents and shortens on difficult sections and ascents. Leaving a halt, tourists slowly pick up the optimal speed and slow it down, approaching the next halt.

For movement, the tourist group is located in a column one at a time. The first is the guide (navigator), who knows the given section of the route well and chooses The best way its passage, monitors the pace of movement, the time of transitions and halts. At the end of the tourist column is usually a repairman or a mechanic (if the trip is skiing, kayaking, cycling, etc.). The trailer must ensure that there are no significant gaps between tourists in the column so that no one is left behind. If it is necessary to stop or reduce the pace of movement, he gives a signal to the leader.

When moving along the route, it is not allowed (especially in groups of students) to break in the column until the participants lose voice or visual communication with each other. The trek leader ensures the management of the group and the safety of the route. He always passes dangerous sections first (in other sections, his place in the column is not regulated).

In a hike, the way of passing the sections of the route is determined by the terrain, the state of the soil, vegetation, the presence of paths and roads. Meadows, unsown fields, copses and forests without dense undergrowth pass through in azimuth. Forests with dense undergrowth, rugged terrain, thickets of bushes are better to pass along the trails, even if this significantly increases the length of the day's transition.

When lifting, the leg is placed on the entire foot, and not on the toe. The steeper the climb, the slower the hikers should climb. For greater traction with the soil and ease of walking, the foot turns outward on such climbs. With a long, “prolonged” ascent, it is recommended to climb in a “serpentine”, turning alternately either right or left side to the slope.

During the passage of forest thickets, dense shrubs, the distance in the column is sharply reduced, with each subsequent participant repeating the movement of the previous one: holding and retracting branches, etc. Wetlands, but passable areas are overcome over bumps; rivers and other water barriers - over bridges and treasures. If the luggage is unstable, it is fixed and crossed with a pole, and a rope railing is pulled or a long pole is used as a railing. If necessary, a crossing is made of logs, which requires special skills. Rivers with a calm course can be waded with mandatory insurance of each other.

2.3. Halts and overnight stays on a hiking trip

A tourist halt (bivouac) is a campsite for participants in a hike, a place for rest, food, sleep, processing of collected materials from excursions, local history work, and preparation for a further journey. Depending on the duration, halts are divided into small, large (lunch or excursion, local history), overnight and day.

A special condition for organizing a halt is the choice of a place that is safe for the participants in the hike. For a big halt, lodging and days, it must also meet other requirements: the presence drinking water and fuel in sufficient quantity for cooking, sites for setting up camp and making a fire. At a small halt, the place and time of which is determined by the navigator of the group, tired ones can sit or even lie down, do a little warm-up. In winter conditions, they rest on fallen trees, stumps or backpacks cleared of snow, put on skis at the back.

2.3 Preparation and organization recreational campaign weekend K organizations and recreational hikes generally not... processed after campaign. There are contraindications for participation in tourist travel. If hiking no day off...

The successful passage of the route depends not only on the group itself, its strength, discipline, cohesion, but also on the season, weather, path conditions, unforeseen obstacles and other external circumstances that do not depend on the tourist. There are so many of them and they are so diverse that it is far from every day that one succeeds in observing a typical, once-for-all established routine, but for the most part one has to adapt it to these circumstances. However, any routine should be based on the following mandatory starting points:

1) if the group is not out of schedule, it spends no more than 6-7 hours daily on the route;

2) setting up camp for the night, preparing dinner and dinner ends no later than after dark;

3) at least 8 hours are allotted for night rest.

All this can be easily done in good weather. summer time, but in bad weather and in autumn, when the day is noticeably shorter every day, it requires mobility and efficiency. Practice has established the following general rules:

1) rise, toilet, cleaning of beds and personal belongings in all cases is carried out as early as possible, and in the south and in hot weather - before dawn, in order to capture more cool morning minutes for movement. The requirement to let "sleep off" can be satisfied by a planned half-day or by going to bed earlier, but without transferring the rise to later hours;

2) breakfast (necessarily hot, with an unlimited amount of tea or coffee, 35% of the daily ration) must be ready and served no later than half an hour after getting up. In bad weather, food is prepared under cover, and eaten in tents or under a common tent (p. 182). To prepare breakfast, the attendants get up an hour and a half earlier than the group, and fuel and provisions are prepared in the evening;

3) loading and dumping are carried out immediately after breakfast; all responsibilities for folding the camp, cleaning the parking lot from traces of stay, carrying ships should be clearly distributed. Often, kayakers are delayed with a blade due to the repair of shells damaged the day before. This operation must be done either in the evening, immediately after going ashore, or before the general rise. In bad weather, the group rolls off as soon as the rain stops and the navigator of the group reports that the state of cloudiness allows us to hope for an improvement in the weather;

4) a daytime halt on the shore is arranged in clear summer weather in the afternoon with a full meal (40% of the daily diet) and a general rest lying down for 1-1.5 hours until the heat subsides (swimming - before dinner). In unstable weather, if you are late with the exit and during periods of a short day, instead of a major lunch break, you get by with a “snack” (sausage, canned food, a second course stored in advance and warmed up, hot drinks). Afternoon rest is reduced to half an hour or completely canceled depending on the circumstances;

5) in the middle latitudes for dinner and overnight, the group in all cases stops no later than 45-60 minutes before sunset, and in the north and in the Arctic during periods of white nights - about 19 hours. In places poor in good camping, the group sets up camp at the first suitable site after 18 hours, since the search best place can drag on until dark and lead to spending the night in worse conditions. Dinner - 25% of the daily ration;

6) going to bed in all cases is carried out 8 hours before the appointed time of rise. Bonfire with songs is possible only on the eve of the day or, if left free time, after dinner, before lights out.

The most convenient time for movement is the first half of the day, from 8-9 to 12-13 hours, and from 16 to 19 hours. At this time it is not hot and easy to walk. The daily routine of a group of schoolchildren of grades VIII-X is recommended as follows:

7.00-8.00 - getting up, charging, cleaning the camp, toilet
8.00-9.00 - breakfast, preparation for the route or
work according to plan
9.00-12.00 - transition, excursions, local history work
12.00-16.00 - big halt, lunch preparation, lunch; repair of equipment, shoes; cleaning of the territory, rest, preparation for the exit or for work according to the plan
16.00-18.00 - movement, excursions, work according to plan
18.00-20.00 - preparation of overnight accommodation, preparation of dinner, dinner
20.00-22.00 - free time, diary entries, conversation around the fire
22.00-22.30 - evening toilet, preparation for bed
22.30 - lights out

Approximately the same routine can be used by adult novice tourists. For qualified groups, the duration of the running time should be increased by getting up earlier and increasing the running time before and after the big halt. However, a stop for the night should be done in such a way that the preparation of the bivouac and dinner is completed before dark. In hikes of medium difficulty (digit groups), the time is distributed as follows: rise at 7.00, preparation for movement until 9 o'clock, movement until 13 o'clock; lunch, rest, gathering until 15.30, travel until 19:00; setting up a bivouac, dinner until 22:00.

When conducting mountain hikes, it is difficult to adhere to such a regime, especially when overcoming passes, moving on snow, and organizing river crossings. It should be borne in mind that crossings are best done in the morning, before the snow melts, since the water level in the rivers is lower at this time. Passing sections of the path, dangerous rockfalls, is also better in the morning.

For such conditions, the following regimen can be recommended: getting up at 4-5 o'clock, moving until 10-11 o'clock or until dangerous area, before convenient location organization of a big halt. In some cases, the duration of a large halt is reduced to 1-1.5 hours. For lunch, dry rations are used to get to safe place for the night. Movement according to circumstances until 18-19 hours. If such a load is repeated for several days in a row, then every 3 days of the journey it is recommended to make a day for rest.

The organization of movement is of no small importance in the campaign. The guide of the group is a leader or an experienced tourist. His task is to choose the path, give the pace of movement, focusing on the poorly prepared in the group. The last one is the strongest and most enduring tourist. His task is to prevent lagging behind, to help those who are tired, if necessary, to redistribute the load at a halt. Behind the guides are the most tired, insufficiently trained tourists.

During the hike, tourists prepare for instructor activities, so the leader can put different participants in turn instead of himself, and he himself will go second or third, observing the actions of the leader.

Early morning. Rare, as if timid trills of birds, drops of dew on the grass and tents. Fog creeps low over the earth; The sun's fireball slowly rises above the horizon...

The alarm clock rang in one of the tents, there was a stir. Quietly, trying not to wake the others, the attendants crawl out. Yes, I don’t want to wake up when it’s not yet five o’clock. But you get up later, you leave later. It's better to get up early and move "in the cold" ... At 5.30, when breakfast is almost ready, it's time for a general rise. At the "table" the commander recalls what awaits travelers today, advises how to dress. At 7.00 the backpacks are already packed, the resting place is removed. The leader asked everyone about their well-being, determined the order of movement. And the tourists moved along the route ...

But soon, after 15-20 minutes, the commander arranged a halt - "adjustable". One immediately shifted the rucksack that was rubbing his back, the other laced up the tight boots, the third took off his sweater - in a word, everyone eliminated what prevented them from walking. ( Experienced Tourists such a stop is often not made.)

I note: the duration of any halt in a hiking trip is considered “by the last”, otherwise those who are behind will not have time to rest. 1-2 minutes before its end (after 10-15 minutes of rest) it is worth warning about this: “There is a minute left!” Tourists put themselves in order, take off excess clothes, which they “warmed up” at a halt, so as not to blow through, put things in backpacks. They are put on only on command, when everyone is ready. Otherwise, someone will have to stand with the load, waiting for the rest to gather.

The following halts after the "adjustable" halt - after 45-50 minutes of movement. But on hard way(in particular, on steep long climbs) or with poor physical fitness, travelers can be in 30 minutes. But it is undesirable to significantly increase the transition time, more than an hour. It is the correct alternation of rest and load that allows you to go all day without much fatigue. It is not necessary to keep the transition time accurate to the minute, especially if a suitable place for a halt was met a little earlier. Rest in the sun will not restore strength.

The time is nearing one o'clock, most of a day's journey behind. Time to stop for lunch. It's more convenient over there, in the shade of the trees, not far from the stream. Tourists refreshed themselves, rested, waited out the hottest time (for everything from 1.5 to 3 hours), and at the fourth hour of the day - forward again! Two or three more crossings, and then, no later than 19:00, stop for the night.

This routine also has a scientific justification.. The medical scientist L. Ya. Glybin found that the human body experiences five physiological "ups" during the day - about 1, 6, 12, 17, 21 hours (according to "summer" time) and the same number of "downs" - about 3 , 10, 15, 19, 23 hours. At 6 hours there is the most significant physiological rise, which we usually wake up. The most productive person is up to 14 hours, and best time for sleep - from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Of course, it is advisable to use the “ups” of activity for movement, and the “downs” for rest. However, it is not possible to follow all the recommendations exactly - and you don’t want to walk in the heat, and the food is still three, not four times a day, as L. Ya. Glybin advises. However, the above mode is closest to the optimal one.

And don't be put off by the unusually early rise. It is this routine that people have adhered to since ancient times (and still adhere to in the villages). Only urbanization, which dramatically changed the way of life, led to the fact that the townspeople began to live contrary to their natural biorhythm. Everyone can check that if you go to bed between 22-23 hours, then getting up at 5-6 hours in the morning is not difficult at all. Even easier than at 9-10 o'clock. Early rise contributes to higher efficiency, better well-being throughout the day.

But here they were busy with the preparations in the morning (they waited a long time for the attendants to wash the buckets), and then walked through the heat. Therefore, we moved more slowly and reached the intended place of the lunch halt late. Since we were behind schedule, we had to shorten our rest, although we were very tired ... So a late start to the route, as well as other violations of the schedule (also sat by the fire until late at night!), Lead to additional fatigue, which can turn into overwork. Then the day will not always help out.

In any case, sleep should be at least 7-8 hours. Only for those on duty it is shorter. But after all, everyone is on duty in the campaign not often. (We have to admit that lovers of campfire songs often interfere with the rest of their companions. This is not comradely!)

Even on a day trip, do not delay getting up and having breakfast. Otherwise, it will pass mediocre - and you won’t do the planned things, and you won’t really rest.
