  • R

    Robin

    Asked on January 7th, 2025

    Why the (upper) age range? One of the party would be 75...but is very active still, walking every day, done multiple UK LDP's, Nepal (to 4,000+m), Machu Picchu, Ireland & UK end-to-end (by bike) etc etc

    Age Range
    • Gypsy Traces and ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      If anyone above 70 is fit to do the trek, we can organize it. Depending on the fitness level in January it will be very cold doing this trek.
