Registrations Terms & Conditions

 

Walk Grade: End-to-End 8


These walks are for those wishing to complete the entire Heysen Trail. There are approximately sixty day walks involved, spread over six years. The southern walks, from Cape Jervis to Kapunda, are held on one week-end per month during the walk season. Due to the greater travelling distances involved, from Kapunda northwards, the walk is held over a weekend. These arrangements make it easy to walk the entire trail because BFB with the valued help of the Friends of Heysen Trail work out many of the logistics. These walks are reasonably demanding and for walkers who have walked regularly in various terrain. They have a walking time of about 5 to 6 hours and will require a high degree of physical fitness. Refer to the End-to-End Walks pagefor more detailed information.

 

Appropriate Clothing
All walks are subject to you wearingappropriate clothing. Prime considerations are warmth and weather protection. Your safety and the safety of the walking group can be jeopardised by you wearing inappropriate clothing. In an emergency situation it can take hours to evacuate a sick or injured walker. Leaders may not accept people for a walk who have not come appropriately dressed or prepared. View details of appropriate clothing at www.heysentrail.asn.au/appropriate-clothing

 

Hot Weather Policy
In the event of hot weather, the decision to proceed with or cancel a walk is made by the Walk Leader(s), having regard to risk factors such as local weather conditions, trail accessibility, vehicle support, and the physical capabilities of walkers in the group. In some circumstances, the Walk Leader may decide to amend, modify or shorten a scheduled walk. If a single-day End-to-End walk is cancelled, walk fees will be refunded. Refunds do not apply to weekend-away walks and multi-day events.
