Hiking levels
No 2 hikes are exactly the same and with every hike, there are different elements that come into play
From the length of the hike to the elevation change to kind of terrain and more. We have categorised our hikes into the following broad categories
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
