Hiking
A massively popular activity,hiking consists of walking in natural environments, often
on hiking trails. The health benefits of
different types of hiking have been confirmed in
many studies, including those detailed on the webiste www.miller-mccune.com.
Hiking is also known as Cross-country hiking (off-trail),
Bushwhacking, or Bushbashing, other
terms include Hillwalking or simply Walking
(UK), Cross-country walking (USA),
Backpacking (where an overnight camp is included),
bushwalking
(Australia),
Tramping (New
Zealand), Treking (North
and South America, India, East Africa).
Whatever you call it, it is vitally important to
always have the correct clothing and equipment when
out walking. Pedalite's Baglite and Ankleite
products are designed to keep you safe during
daylight and darkness hours.

Applying
simple safety rules when hiking such as wearing bright clothing and using
lights that will make you be seen can help you feel and keep safe.
Unfortunately, one problem is that lighting is often overlooked in daylight,
particularly in the summer. Consider how a single cloud passing in front of the
sun affects the light; how quickly the sky can darken with a change in weather
or how shadows from trees or bridges can affect someone’s vision
and render walkers and hikers without lights invisible.
Pedalite’s award-winning, battery-free, lighting,
including its, solar powered Baglite, which fits any size
or shape of backpack and the ultra lightweight
Anklelite, which illuminates ankles or arms, all
provide 360o lighting to protect all the
family. The lighting ensures walkers and
hikers, are seen from all
directions, from up to 1km away.
You or your family’s safety does not have to cost the earth
- these innovative products use solar (ordinary
house lights or sunshine to recharge) and kinetic
energy; you don’t need expensive replacement
batteries and your old batteries aren’t going into
landfill - even the packaging is recycled cardboard!
