Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for cold! There is no such thing as the wrong sort of weather, but without the right clothing you can be uncomfortable. The nights and early mornings especially can be cold. Layers, hats gloves, long-johns all required No real need to bring extra food as all kinds of trail snacks are provided and the meals are substantial. Although the campsites are in the wild, there are frequent opportunities to shop on the way home from a days excursion. 2 weeks in a small tent may not be to everyone's taste, but except for 2 nights there are flush toilets and warm showers, so the "roughing it" aspect is fairly gentle.
