Description

Due to the high enthusiasm for this particular hike, I have expanded the group size. I will do my best to keep everyone together, but if you are too fast or too slow, it may not be possible to do so and we may have to split. Please make sure you are autonomous and well prepared for this possibility.

40 Buddies on a T4 hike, you're just asking for trouble. That is beyond unreasonable...
