The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable at any time of year – you have the flexibility to start earlier or later to avoid the worst of the weather. On vary rare occasions the weather may force a more drastic change of route. If this occurs your Mountain guide will discuss the options with you at the earliest opportunity during the event.  

To fully enjoy the trip you need to be in good physical condition and not completely new to exercise and activity on mountainous terrain. Your body and mind will need to cope with sustained activity, over a number of hours, on a variety of terrain, with steep descents and ascents, on very rocky ground at times. Please discuss personal issues on fitness and experience with us; we can offer advice on preparation. The guides will ask you to complete a Booking Form declaring health and medical conditions in advance of your event. They need to know about how best to support you on the mountains.
