🐇🐢 Pace & Fitness Requirements
This is a long walk suitable for people with good fitness and in sound physical condition. You should be comfortable maintaining a steady pace throughout.
The group might not wait for very slow walkers, so please ensure you're self-sufficient and able to continue on your own if needed.
Be sure to download the route to your phone or watch in case you fall behind or choose a shortcut.
While you’re welcome to walk at your own pace, be aware that the route may take longer than expected if walking slower than average. If you find the walk too difficult, there are several shortcuts available to help you complete the route. However, if you choose to take a shortcut, you’ll need to navigate independently, as the group leader will continue with the planned full route.
