Women’s End2End Route

Here’s what you need to know…

……This page is just a rough guide. The full detailed map – with start and end locations – can be found on Komoot via this link

…….The relay has been split into 15 sections, each with 5 day hikes. Most days will start at 8am (your leader will confirm this with you nearer the relay if you are participating)

…….Below you will find a break down of each section, as well as a link to its corresponding Facebook group. These groups have been set up for teammates and supporters to share, ask questions, provide words of support and coordinate lifts and accommodation.

…….The difficulty rating is just intended as a rough guide, every day will be challenging but some sections may require you to be fitter and more experienced (some of our Scotland days for example involve river crossings and a lot of elevation for example so are marked as Very Hard) 

We have limited spaces on each day of the relay. When we are down to our final 5 spaces for a day it will show  (LIMITED SPACES)
