A FEW RULES;

In the interests of safety, the walks are confined to regular walkers in good health, who are at least 18 years of age. As the number of participants is limited, a minimum sponsorship of about €130 is required. (Of course, larger amounts are never refused!)

Participants are advised to wear warm socks and comfortable walking boots with ankle support. (This is most important.)

They also need to wear warm clothing and bring along rainwear. Dogs and alcohol are prohibited. Stewards' instructions must be obeyed.
