All our hikes are guided.

It has been shown that using walking poles will reduce the accumulated stress on the feet, legs, knees and back by sharing the load more evenly across the whole body. This is especially true when carrying a heavy pack on your back.

Trekking poles can also:

• Protect knees, especially when walking down steep hills.
• Improve your power and endurance when walking uphill.
• Aid balance on uneven trails.
• Improve posture, making walkers more upright as they walk and in turn this can help breathing.
• Increase speed, especially going downhill.
• Provide extra stability.
• Reduce fatigue and improve endurance.
• Burn more calories by providing an upper body work out as well as a legs workout.
• Strengthen muscles that support the spine.
• Build muscles in arms, shoulders and neck.

Currently we don’t provide any foodies on the trail, dehydrated food can be Bought at Capeunion Mart and Outdoorwarehouse.
