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)

Dear Selena,

It’s been ages since we last caught up, so I have an absolutely exciting plan to share with you. Actually, I’m hosting a trip for experienced hikers on a weekend, and I know that you’re pretty enthusiastic, so how could I forget you?

The hike will be in the serene region of the Saiyadri Hills, which is close to Saputara hill station. The best part is that all the other participants in this trek fall in the age group of 20 to 28 years, and each of them is highly experienced. So, the level of the trekking will be quite difficult, and that will be a complete thrill!

The hike will be on July 7th and 8th. We’ll gather at the city center on the 6th night and begin our trip. On Saturday, the complete day will be dedicated to hiking and trekking through the trails, while on Sunday, a bit of shopping and roaming around the local market can be done.

By the way, you need to pack your warm clothes along with a raincoat, as there can be spine-chilling cold and foggy monsoon weather simultaneously. However, you don’t need to worry about the other equipment like ropes and carabiners, as it will be provided by my team.

Let’s make it happen this time! Take care and write back soon.

Love,

Micheal
