Default Night tour

Have you ever trekking in a midnight, or at least in the dark after the sun is gone? Is there any experience that you have about it?

When I was a kid we would play flashlight tag in the woods. That was about it. I would not do it unless I was extremely familiar with the area.

You'd have to be quite brave I reckon. Even if you knew the area by heart and you've lived there your whole life. Walking around in the woods is a whole new story. I personally wouldn't have the guts to try it out though.

I agree that it can be very dangerous. Especially if your new to hiking. Silver is right hiking in the dark is a complete different experience and mind I say it a dangerous one at most.

I guess you could do it with some people. I once went on a bush walk in the night for a camping trip. It was quite fun because we got to see alot of nocturnal animals which we would'nt see otherwise.

You could do it with some friends and maybe some experienced trekker. Just bring enough lamp and flash light, watch your back and watch your step

I had once trekked during night. It was really an adventure, I gained a lot of experience from that. I had some experienced trekkers with me and they helped me a lot. We all has flash lights on our helmets and it really helped us to find the way. We were very lucky that we never came across any animal.

No, I never trekking in night. Most of the work I was complted during day time in my life.
In the night it is very difficult for me and I can not do my work well.
