As long as you regularly exercise, or are capable of walking between 7km and 14km each day you should enjoy the experience.  The best preparation for a walk is walking!  Do some hill training, increase your distances over time and walk with a pack. If you have any concerns about fitness please call and speak to one of our staff members.

Your daypack should weigh no more than 5kg.  You will carry your lunch, water, waterproof jacket and any personal items each day.
