Trails Walks & Hikes

Walks & Hikes

Hikes and walks are categorised by:

Easy Easy: Less than 8km with an elevation gain of less than 200 - 250 metres. These are easy walks and hikes which are suitable for the unfit, beginners and children.

Moderate: 8 to 16km with less than 800 metres of elevation gain. You should be reasonably fit for these hikes.

Challenging: 16km or more, and those with more than a 800 metres elevation gain.

If you have any favourite walks or trails and they are not here, please will you add them or encourage someone else to? Click here for instructions.
