Practical mountain advice
Am I fit enough for a mountain hike?
You do not need to be an athlete, but the route should match your current fitness and walking experience.
Consider sustained effort
Mountain walking combines hours on your feet with ascent, descent and uneven ground.
Use practical reference points
Recent walks, regular weekly activity and how you recover after exercise are more useful than a vague idea of being fit.
Build up gradually
Increase distance and ascent step by step rather than making one large jump.
Talk openly about your level
A clear description of your experience helps me suggest the most suitable hike.
