A really cool walk, but not for the faint hearted! No hike is rated higher than Grade 3, but designed for intermediate and advanced walkers. Outside of that, a standard weekend away. Full tank of fuel; all camping gear, food and clothing for a weekend in the bush. Comfortable hiking boots and a camelbak/water bottle will be required. There will be facilities at the campground. |
