Itinerary:

(For those of you who have done the similar route with me, we will walk through the forested parts first before sunset! Some of you prefer the light.)

This D4 hike will be 16.4 km. We will maintain a FAST pace of at least 6.5+ km/h.

The fine print

Please, if you sign up for this hike, ensure that you can walk at least 6.5 km/h for 16 km.
THIS IS A FAST HIKE FOR STRONG HIKERS. IT IS NOT A CASUAL STROLL.
WE WILL BE WALKING VERY QUICKLY, AND WON'T BE WAITING FOR STRAGGLERS.

OK, now that you`ve read all the warnings, come out for a great workout!
This hike will be along a mix of pavement, gravel and dirt paths, with 1 big hill and a bunch of lesser hills. There may be a few muddy sections.
