Level of fitness
A reasonable level of fitness is required. Walking tracks are either hard surface, grass, or boardwalks, with many wooden steps. We recommend wearing sturdy shoes.
If you have a child in a pushchair, please be prepared for some lifting. Mountain buggies are more suitable than regular pushchairs for the majority of tracks. Alternatively, we recommend travelling with a baby/toddler backpack.
