Walking should be enjoyed by everyone who takes part. For this reason the walks can be completed in a reasonable time in a relaxed manner. If you are reasonably fit then the walks will be an enjoyable and satisfying achievement. Due to the climate in and around the mountains the weather can change without notice. This means that walking trips may have to be changed at the last minute. The walks are a mixture of paths leading through forests, winding up mountain sides, walking through gorges, climbing castles, high ridges, level terrain, and steep terrain. If you enjoy walking and exerting yourself now and again then you will be fit enough to enjoy the walks. Please ensure you have your own medical & travel insurance.
