important information
This multi-day trip is very remote. There is no telephone coverage for most of the trip. Although the distances are quite long the terrain is comparatively easy and while there is accommodation available each night, there is little or no opportunity to obtain food or water each day. Therefore, it is very important to carry your food and water requirements for each day.
