WALK SHEET NOTES
- The 'Total uphill' figure listed on the walk sheets refers to all of the uphill sections of a walk e.g. if a trail goes up and down several times, all of the up sections are totalled. It does not just represent the change in height from the lowest to highest elevation.
- The maps and elevation profiles are intended as a guide only for each particular walk. While due care has been taken to make them accurate, slight differences may occur on the actual walk.
- The 'Duration' of each walk is an estimate of the total walking time and includes breaks and lunch. The actual walking times may differ depending on the group and how long they have for breaks and lunch. Driving time is not included in the above table - except for Walk 20. For driving times, refer to the detailed walk sheets.
