What does the “style and rating” of the trip mean?
Each trip has a style that describes the type of accommodation, transport, and inclusions you can expect, plus a rating to give you an idea of the physical challenge. This helps you know exactly what’s in store on each trip. As this trip is an advanced trip, you need to have a good level of fitness to begin with. The challenge will take around 11 hours of hiking at a moderate pace (22 miles). If this isn’t your kind of adventure, that’s totally fine, we have plenty more options available! You can check out what they mean here.
