Essential Information
Trip Profile
10 days point-to-point walking with vehicle support, 2 rest days. Altitude maximum 2500m, average 1525m.
Accommodation
14 nights camping, mostly in good campsites with hot showers, occasionally in the wild.
Food
All meals are included.
Reality Check
Although some of the days are quite long, often involving an ascent of 900 - 1000m followed by a similar descent, the paths are well maintained and there is very little rough terrain underfoot. This trek is graded as a B/C as several of the walking days (especially the last two) are greater than walking up and down Scafell Pike or Ben Nevis.
Normal group size and age
Min. 10 max. 24 students, plus 2 teachers and a leader. Minimum age 14.
