What to expect

This is a serious overnight outing built for those who enjoy long miles, big nights, and moving through mountainous terrain when most people are asleep. We'll head out at sunet, aiming for a high point to watch the last light fade, then keep going through the quiet hours, navigating by headtorch, moonlight, and grit. The terrain will be rough in places, the pace steady but purposeful - this isn't a stroll. Expect long climbs, technical ground, and that deep-night silence only the hills can offer.

There'll be breaks, but not much rest. The focus is on keeping momentum, staying sharp, and reaching our sunrise spot in time. If you like the idea of walking right through the shortest night of the year, with tired legs and a good group around you, this one's for you.
