Läste sidan som länkas till i inlägget ovan och måste bara citera detta:

The walk is long and can be arduous but it is not a difficult walk. Still, every day people get into trouble or end up having an experience which is far from pleasant. The most common factors are:

- people who never do any exercise and suddenly want their body to walk 16 uneven km without protesting.
- bad shoes creating blisters and / or foot-ache.
- problems with the heat (in summer).
- knee problems that develop during the steep descent at the beginning of the walk and have no time to get better once that original strain is over.

Taking children
I have had a 5 year old child in one of my groups happily walk the whole length of the gorge but he was an exception. Most young children have no problems walking but will not hold the distance. You might end up having to carry them which is nobody's idea of fun on such a long walk. I would not recommend taking children younger than 8 or 9. From that age onwards they generally have far less problems than their parents but they tend to walk a little too quickly, jump about ...and fall. Make sure you have them in sight most of the time (or at least ensure that you know if they are in front of you or behind!) and try to get them to slow down when they get carried away.


Jag är en ganska van fjällvandrare och har vandrat med mina ungdomar sedan de var små. Det skribenten säger om vandringskapacitet när det gäller såväl vuxna som barn är det bästa jag någonsin har läst! Precis så är min erfarenhet!
