We ask you to think about your own level of fitness and previous walking experience, particularly for overnight events where you are expected to carry an overnight pack.
For day walks
-
-
Intermediate: for those that have done up to 10km on a single day bushwalk with some hills. These walks are typically undulating with a few steep hills. Walkers should have a fairly good level of fitness.
- Experienced: walkers who have bushwalked 15km or more on a single day with challenging terrain. These are usually long day-walks of up to 9 hours with a steady pace and/or several steep hills. Walkers must be fit and experienced.
For overnight walks
-
-
Intermediate: for those that have done up to 10km on an overnight bushwalk with a few hills, carrying an overnight pack with camping gear*. Again a good level of fitness is needed.
-
Experienced: walkers who have bushwalked 15km or more on consecutive days in the bush with challenging terrain, carrying an overnight pack with camping gear*. A very good level of fitness is required and walkers may be screened when booking on these events.
* camping gear refers to sleeping bag, sleeping gear, tent, fuel stove, food for two days or more and clothing.
