Hikes

The very starting point for all hikers.

• The terrain is typically very flat or gently sloping
• Length of the hike is shorter than 10km
• There is plenty of time to finish the hike
• The ground is very open and smooth for easy walking

Moving onto something that offers more for those wanting to take things a step further

• Hiking distance can be longer, up to 12km
• Elevation might change a lot in 1 or 2 sections, eg, going down to a waterfall or climbing a short hill.
• Elevation change could be up to 300m from lowest to highest point
• Some paths might have tighter spaces

Hikes where either the distances involved are longer or there is a greater elevation change or both

• Distance can be up to 16km
• Elevation change can be up to 700m from lowest to highest point
• Weather can play a contributing factor on increasing the challenge of the hike
• Terrain may have loose stones or steep slopes where slipping is a real possibility

• Hiking distance can be up to 20km
• Elevation change could be up to 1000m difference
• Numerous ups and downs
• Harsh weather

The hardest of them all – only for those that really want to push themselves and get into mountain climbing or endurance testing

• Hiking distance of over 20km
• Elevation change of over 1000m
• Time barred for doing the hike slowly – speed is essential
• Harsh weather and tough terrain
• Frequent ups and downs or constant climbing with few rest stops
