FAQ

Before you set out

How do I join a trip?

Choose a route and departure, send a request with your contact details, and wait for the organiser to reply. The request is not a confirmed booking until availability and terms are agreed.

Do I need hiking experience?

Requirements depend on the route. Its difficulty, duration and preparation guidance are listed on the trip page. If you are unsure, contact the organiser before signing up.

What should I bring?

A basic equipment list is shown on the route page. The final list depends on the season, weather, overnight arrangements and trip format; the organiser will confirm it before departure.

Can I join on my own?

What are the pace and group size?

The route page gives an indicative group size and difficulty. Daily plans and pace may be adjusted to trail conditions and the group’s safety.

Where can I get the exact track?

Are the dates and prices final?

No. While the site is being prepared, dates and prices may be estimates. Ask the organiser to confirm the date, price, included services and payment terms before signing up.

What if my plans change?
