Trek Information

Be prepared for 4-5 hours in the saddle - as such comfortable trousers should be worn. We recommend jodhpurs, tracksuit bottoms or leggings - jeans will wrinkle and give you chapped legs. Boots or sturdy shoes with a slight heel are essential - trainers are dangerous for riding. Be prepared for the Scottish climate - a strong fairly close fitting waterproof jacket and waterproof trousers are a must. Gloves and a warm jumper are also recommended. A packed lunch is needed for full day treks. Weight limit is 12 and a half stone (79kg). Riding hats are provided but trekkers may bring their own as long as they meet the current British Standard PASO15/BSEN1384.
