     • Start your trip with clean, dirt-free, dry gear (including shoes, bike tyres, camping gear, vehicles)
     • Use the boot wash or scrub stations provided – these capture contaminated water or control flow to septic or sewage systems where root rot will die
     • Stay on formed tracks
     • Follow instructions on signage
     • Clean your gear again when you get home – try a solution of 70% methylated spirits or ethanol, 30% water, and wash straight into the septic/sewage system. You may want to keep a spray bottle in the car.
