Band 9: You are organizing a weekend hiking trip with a local hiking club and want to invite a friend who is new to hiking. Write a letter to your friend inviting them on the hiking trip. You should include details about: - the location and difficulty level of the hike - what they need to bring (clothing, gear, etc.) - what to expect during the hike (e.g., scenery, challenges, duration)

Hi Priya,

I hope you’re doing well! It’s been a while since we last met, so I wanted to invite you to join a weekend hiking trip that a group of our former university classmates is organizing.

We’re planning to visit Kodaikanal on the 18th and 19th of July. We’ll be hiking through some beautiful forest trails, enjoying the viewpoints, taking lots of photos, and having a campfire in the evening. It will be a great chance for all of us to catch up and spend some quality time together.

We’ve already booked a comfortable guesthouse where everyone will stay overnight. We’ll be sharing rooms, so the cost will be quite affordable. We plan to leave early on Saturday morning and return by Sunday evening.

Since we’ll be hiking, make sure to bring comfortable trekking shoes, a backpack, a water bottle, and a light rain jacket in case the weather changes. You should also pack a few warm clothes because it can get chilly at night.

It would be wonderful if you could come. I’m sure everyone would be excited to see you again. Let me know as soon as possible so I can include you in the booking.

Take care, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Best wishes,

Sujitha
