Trip Coordinators are strictly volunteers and there is no requirement that they possess any skills such as first aid, survival, etc.

Please remember to bring the essential items for your pack and to follow the hiking etiquette guidelines.

All events are dog-free unless otherwise stated on the schedule or the trip co-ordinator advises each participant in advance.

Trail statitics are provided as a guide only. You should always check with the trip coordinator if you have any specific concerns. Many factors influence the statistics, sometimes there are multiple routes that can be taken and the statistics may not correspond to the route the coordinator chooses to take. Environmental or other factors can influence trail conditions. Distance and elevation measurement can be imprecise.
