Have you ever been hiking? Hiking is great fun, but it's important to be careful. We asked Hanna Dunne, an expert hiker, to share some top tips.

Yes, but it's important to prepare before you go. It's important to take the right things.

Always take enough water and lots of healthy snacks. Fruit and nuts are great. Take a map and a compass too. Don't forget to pack a first-aid kit with plasters and antiseptic cream. Finally, pack some matches to start a fire, a torch and a whistle.

If anything happens, you can use it to call for help.

It's important to wear good hiking shoes. Boots are better. Wear lots of layers. Not just one T-shirt, but two or three. Not just one pair of socks, but two. Then if you are hot, you can take off a layer. If it's sunny, wear a cap.

Always go in a group and always go hiking with an adult, of course. It's a good idea to take regular breaks to have a rest, and don't forget to enjoy the view too.

Please respect the countryside. Don't pick wild flowers and take your rubbish home with you! And, of course, the most important tip. Enjoy your hike! It's a great activity.

I go hiking all the weekends . And every time I go hiking I feel in a new planet. I usually take my binoculars. Mountains are not the same world for me, they have trees, animals and nature. I just love to go hiking with my family. A few days ago, my parents adopted a dog, and the name is Milka, so with the dog we go hiking more often than before. I love hiking. Do you like hiking?
