- Yes! Many of our walks are suitable for beginners with a reasonable level of fitness.
- No specialist gear is required, but good walking shoes/boots and weather-appropriate clothing are essential.
- Absolutely. Our guided walks and excursions are open to everyone, locals and visitors alike.
- We go ahead in most weather conditions (it’s all part of the adventure!), but routes may be adapted for safety. In extreme cases, we may reschedule or offer an alternative.
