The trek begins with a pre-day briefing covering safety, expectations, gear check, posture adjustments and advice, water consumption, energy maintence and stability etc....
We then set out on our man-made track that leads us up a steep incline to the top of the ranges. The first 4 hours of this trek encompases terrain varying in intensity from medium to hard before stopping for lunch. As you climb up through the majestic valley you will have the opportunity to stop occassionally along the way and look back at your amazing achievements.
After a technical briefing and lunch break, we proceed for another 3 hours until we reach the top of the range and our campsite for the night. Everyone assists in setting up the tents before enjoying a well earned rest by the campfire.
Dinner tonight is round the campfire where we share some our experiences with the group. After dinner, we switch on our torches and walk through the bush to give particpants the opportunity to experience the bush at night before retiring for the day.
