Clothing

Clothing should be comfortable and durable. Neutral colours such as khaki are preferable. Light-coloured garments such as whites and creams should be avoided. T-shirts are not recommended as they provide little protection against the sun on the neck. A hat and an all-weather jacket should be taken along. A tracksuit, either woollen or lightweight depending on the season, is a useful garment.

Footwear should be worn-in prior to the trail, have thick soles and provide good ankle support. It is preferable not to wear white shoes.

Duration

The duration of the wilderness trails is three nights and two days, either from Sunday to Wednesday, or from Wednesday to Saturday. Trailists meet at the designated restcamp at 3.30pm on Sundays and Wednesdays from where they leave by vehicle for their trail camp after a short briefing.

Hints

A camera, binoculars, sunscreen lotion and reference books are optional. A powerful torch is essential. Due to the constant inflation rate prices are subject to change without any prior notice.
