Why 100 Kilometre Distance?
This distance requires and challenges expedition travel skills, tough navigation, light weight travel, and self reliance. We will travel as a group, covering roughly 20km per day. If this does not sound like much, consider that this will be compounded by bushwhacking, steep elevations, difficult navigation, limited rations, and additional time to camp without tents or sleeping bags. Because of this year’s difficult location, we will count every 300 meters of elevation gain as 1km. This will still mean a distance of over 80km as a crow flies, but don’t expect the route to be this short or straight, and don’t expect trails to travel on.
