A recap of our boot system |
 |
Easy relaxed walking, usually along the flat or with a few low
hills involved. Suitable for inexperienced hikers. |
|
More challenging walk, and usually longer (4-5 hours) but still
within the endurance and capability of most walkers. Would not involve
hills as high as 500 metres. |
|
Requires endurance and not suitable for walkers who have difficulties
in high places. 3 boots maybe allocated to a walk because of its
length and/or because it involves elevations over 500 metres and/or
tough walking. Not recommended for novice hikers. |
