Fitness level

Fitness level

Moderate:

 

  • Most locations we will visit are a short walking distance of parking, with a few that are a bit further. You must be able to walk on uneven ground, beaches and sometimes steep and slippery surfaces, as well as some cliff top paths. There will also be some steep climbs to get to and from some of the beach locations. 
  • We will also be spending long periods of time out in the elements which will require stamina and endurance. Good footwear and warm layers will be essential.
