Members of Hike Support will make a decision each day to ensure conditions are deemed safe to walk. They will consider high winds, torrential rain, thunder high temperatures or any conditions where it is considered too dangerous to continue. We may have to decide to abandon the event for that day. But a little rain won’t stop us!
For safety reasons and due to restrictions of accommodation providers, we cannot allow dogs to take part in the Incredible Hike.
Unfortunately, your place is non-transferable. If you cannot take part, please let us know.
