Trip Suitability
You need to have a very good level of fitness and experience of walking with a rucksack in hiking boots or sturdy walking/running shoes. You will be walking through mountainous environments on uneven and steep terrain that will be challenging at times. This is a group trip and we aim for participants to enjoy it as much as possible, for that reason we recommend you undertake some challenge-specific training before the challenge, details of which will be included in the Joining Instructions.
Anything cardiovascular will help (walking, cycling, swimming, running, gym), but we also recommend you have practice tackling some hills whilst wearing the boots and rucksack you’ll be using on the mountain. Importantly you need to do some longer (2+ hour) walks so you will know what is required. We cannot control the weather so don’t forget to bring your sense of humour on the hill! The more you train, the more you’ll enjoy this incredible hiking challenge!
