General information

Route: Mostly in the woods, some short & steep parts where you'll sweat, but still not dificult . T2, just don't be too scared of heights, have shoes with good grip. If you don't know what the T-Scale is, read this blog (click here).

Pace / fitness level: moderate. It is beginner friendly but we adjust to the majority. In case there are many participants with different levels we will have to split.

Important rules about Hiking Buddies

• You have until 12 hours before the start of the event to drop out from the hike.
• Participants not showing up will get a "NO-SHOW" flag on their profile, which decreases significantly your chances to be accepted on future hikes.
• The organizer is no professional guide, participants must be responsible for themselves (and that means to do some research about the routes and its potential dangers / tricky sections to know if you have the experience for it).
• Not a rule, but on your profile, ideally, add a picture of you and select the country you're from (not the one you're living in), to show how international the group is. :)
• Feel free to read this post on Facebook to know more about how Hiking Buddies works.
• no 🐕 dogs 🐶 🐩 
• not cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐱 🐈 
• not cigarettes 🚬 
• alcohol 🍺 allowed ✅ but not other drugs 
• not kids 👧 👦 

• Out of respect for the others, please be on time

  
  

  Special note: We will take a lot of pictures so make sure you let me know if you don’t want to be in the pictures before that . Most likely we will post it on social media. 
  
  

  Disclaimer

  I'm not a professional guide, you're responsible for yourself and your own safety. Make sure you are prepared for everything. It is important that you download the route on your cell phone. It is not a Boy Scout group. I am the one who organizes it, but it would be a great help if we all know where we are going, since I am not profesional as I said before. 

  Whatsapp group: 

  no needed as all the info is here in case you still have questions please use the comment section. 

  In case of heavy raining In case of heavy rain during the hike we will postpone it. If it rains before or after, there is no problem to do the hike. Always check the weather of the place where we are going.☔️ 

  the hike will take place even if there is not people sign in.
