Duration: Distance covered over 2½ days
Where: Drive to Tappanappa campground, hike to Balquhidder and finish in Waitpinga.

Fitness requirements: A moderate degree of fitness is required as you will be hiking approximately 12km a day with a backpack. You really don’t need to be a top fit athlete to enjoy this. We are not out to break any records but rather to enjoy a wonderful experience together. That said, Tabor does withhold the right to decline participation if there is reasonable doubt about your physical health and safety in doing such a hike.
What to bring: Students to bring their own backpack, camping gear, food and cooking equipment. If necessary, assistance can be provided to those needing any camping equipment. A detailed hiking gear list can be found here.
