Recommendations
Dress: comfortable clothing; neck scarf to protect from the wind; windbreakers, clinging shoes (rubber soles:
sailing shoes, ballet flats, others); and for the cold ones a cap that always warms.
Avoid: tight and very warm clothing; props: bracelets, necklaces… (to avoid getting caught in the cables);
glasses (preferably using a strap/elastic to attach them to the head); mobile phones and wallets in the
trouser pockets (it is suggested a small handbag/backpack to save the belongings, that would be kept in the
office of BBDouro);
Take: Good disposition and open mind to learn and participate.
