Difficulty and participation: This a winter expedition to a remote area, and thus the inherent risks of such an activity exist. For most of the time, participants will be sitting on the sleds but there may be occasions when you must walk or help push the sled up steeper slopes. Participants should also be willing to help and participate with the day-to-day running of the journey, including helping to pitch/strike camps, cooking, washing up, collecting water and so on.
Fitness: A good bill of health and reasonable basic fitness, plus an ability to cope with cold conditions.
