How fit do I need to be to do this walk?This walk is suitable for those who are looking for a walking / hiking holiday experience. A good level of fitness is needed to complete this walk. You must be capable of walking between 5 - 6 hours a day. Because we carry our guests overnight packs (except those taking the Standard packages) it makes the walk that much more enjoyable. We'll take the pace at a level that suits everyone, with plenty of rest stops and opportunities to take photos during each day. Please note if you have any medical conditions which may affect your walking we suggest you seek medical advice before booking this tour.
What's the difference between the deluxe and standard package?Deluxe is an all-inclusive package for those that wanting to just enjoy the walk and scenery and have everything else done for them. Your bags are transported each day to the campsite, you are provided a luxury stand up touring tent with off the ground beds which is set up and ready for your arrival, with your bags waiting for you inside your tent. Our Standard package is for those that want the challenge of an authentic hiking /trekking experience, carrying their own overnight pack and supplying and setting up their own tent and mattress.
What is the most popular package.. deluxe or standard ?While 98% of our guests choose the deluxe package and have everything done for them, we still like to offer the standard package for the few that want to take the challenge of experiencing an authentic hiking experience.
So what will I need to carry?
All our guests (except Std package) will just need to carry a small day pack with water, camera and any small personal items you want access to during the day.
What gear is provided in the deluxe package?All your camping gear and equipment including luxury stand up touring tents, off the ground beds with deluxe mattresses, pillows, all your eating utensils, the campsite's cooking equipment. Pretty much all you'll need to bring is your clothes, a torch/flashlight and your personal items packed in a medium sized overnight bag. Please ask your hotel to store any large suitcases. Once final payments are received you will be emailed a Clothing and Gear checklist in your Pre-Departure Information. You'll need to provide your own sleeping bag or hire one from us.

When is the best time of the year to do this walk?We believe the premier time to do this walk is between Novemberand April when the weather is warmer. We therefore only run this guided walk during this period to ensure you have the ultimate hiking experience.
