SUMMER GUIDE 

Summer hill walking and Munro bagging requires you to have a good amount of fitness. The terrain changes throughout different mountain ranges meaning some mountains can be more demanding than others, bigger or technical days would require you to have previous experience.

This guide below is to help you decide what hikes/ events would be suitable for your personal fitness and experience level.

KEEP IT SIMPLE - ⛰️                                                                                                                                                                                                                      For those who prefer a more relaxed approach to the hills where the pace will be kept slower. These events will be shorter hill days with less ascent. Ideal if you are new to Munro Bagging.

MODERATE - ⛰️⛰️                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         For those who have previous hiking experience and good hill fitness. These events would be a longer hill day where it would be physically more demanding, have some minor scrambling terrain and cover larger distance and ascent.

ADVANCED - ⛰️⛰️⛰️                                                                                                                                                                                                                    For those who have previous hiking experience, good hill fitness and are up for a challenge or big day out on the hills. These events could cover technical terrain ( up to grade one ) , will have a larger amount of ascent and distance and require a good head for heights.
