[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi all,

If I can find someone to go with, I'd love to go on a hike and nature walk.  The weather is getting warmer and I'd love to explore the park.  What techniques do you use for hiking?  You likely go with a guide.  What does he or she do?  In narrow spaces, regular sighted guide technique where you hold their arm will not work.  Do you use a different cane?  If so what kind?  I would think you'd need a more sturdy cane.  Now I usually use a graphite cane; most of you probably use the fiber glass canes from nfb.

Share your hiking adventures.  Great way to exercise.
