Seasons

Throughout the year. Winter walking in remote areas is only for those with the necessary skills and experience.

Centres

Varied

Difficulty

Walks from 25km (15.5 miles) to 80km (50 miles), and from 7 hrs to 34hrs. Some remote and mountainous areas. Good fitness and navigational skills (including night navigation) required.

Must See

The group experience; the shared suffering; the sense of achievement. Crossing the finish line. Planning your next route. Wondering why you are doing it...

Harveys 1:25,000 Superwalker (available for most of the routes here, www.harveymaps.co.uk), Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer, and OS 1:50,000 Landranger are all good maps. My recommended map depends on whether 1:25,000 detail is useful, and otherwise on which gives convenient coverage.
