Each day will require car pooling.  This hike is capped at 4 people due to the campsite limit, however another campsite may be sourced for an additional 4 people. Only 1 vehicle can be parked on the campsite and it will have kitchenware and space to store items. The campsite is powered and is close to a pub so nightly meals can be sourced from the venue.  The Friday walk will be a short one depending on when everyone arrives.
