WHAT CAN I DO TO PREPARE?

- Add extended walks 12 – 18km to your training program
- Ensure you have the right shoes, not too old and not too new with good grip. The most common issue we see is soles coming off old hiking boots the glue disintegrates overtime.
-If your shoes are new wear them in before you come
-Try hiking poles they help to take weight off your knees
