Timings

The timings given in the guide are the actual walking times recorded by the author. These do not include any time for breaks or breathers, and actual walking time will depend on other factors such as group size, navigational ability, fitness, load and conditions. As a guideline, expect to take a total time about 50% longer than the time given, which means allowing nine hours for a six-hour walking day. This will obviously depend on your walking patterns and how you plan your day. Times to climb peaks assume you are fit and walking without a pack.
