First off, thank you for all the responses and resteems of my first Step Out Xayd blog series. The support you guys have shown keeps me motivated in introducing more people to adventure and taking them closer to nature.
The first ever Step Out Xayd event
I am very excited to invite you all to the first ever Step Out Xayd event, the Budlaan-Sirao Dayhike Traverse for the Cebu Steemit Community.
The dayhike activity will be on June 3, 2018, Sunday and will start at Sitio Baugo near Talamban in the well-known Budlaan Falls. Our exit point will be at Brgy. Sirao, near Ayala Heights.
The hike should last five to six hours depending on the pace of the group.
Important Details
1.) The hike will be limited to only twenty participants at maximum.
2.) There will be a registration fee of 1.0 SBD that will cover the expenses (transportation and food) of at least four volunteer guides.
3.) Volunteer guides will consist of the trail master (lead or first man), tail or sweeper (last man), and two middle man who will function as medic and runners.
4.) Please make sure you are physically fit. I will give you tips in future posts on how to physically condition for a hike.
5.) Only trekking shoes, running shoes, or outdoor sandals are allowed. Skate shoes (Chuck Taylors, Vans slip-ons, etc. are not allowed as they do not have traction that will keep you stable on the trail)
How you can be part of this activity
1.) Join the hike
If you want to get closer to nature or to test your physical capacity, free up your calendar on June 3rd and come hike with us. As an initial, unconfirmed list of participants, kindly comment below if you want to join. Final registration will be announced later so please do not settle the registration fee just yet.
2.) Provide sponsorship for the registration fee
If joining seems improbable, you may offer to sponsor one or more slots by covering the registration fee of 1.0 SBD.
3.) Upvote and resteem the Step Out Xayd blog series
The Step Out Xayd blog series is a fund raising activity. See details at the final part of this blog post.
Step Out Xayd - a benefit series for Xayd’s upcoming expedition.
Later this year, I will be embarking on an expedition on what mountaineers refer to as one of the toughest mountains in the Philippines. It takes three to four days to fully complete the traversing trail of this mountain. This also means my team will be incurring a significant amount of expenses for pursuing this expedition. The SBD proceeds of the Step Out-Xayd series will all go to the funding of this expedition.
See you on the trails!
Cheers,
Xayd
