DISTANCE & STYLE OF TRAIL:
The Pilgrim Trail is generally anywhere between 180 - 202k in length, depending upon possible diversions put in place at the time you walk it, new roads (bypasses), changing land ownership & permissions. Our itinerary (total of 183 kms walking the way of Dom Salvado) follows the Pilgrim Trail Foundation Camino Salvado markers at the time of publishing this itinerary and more recently we've gained permission to access private land, however this may change prior to our departure due to the above factors. The style of this walk is not your 'typical' pretty bush walk, it's a pilgrimage, it's 'The Way' and is meant to challenge you both physically and mentally. You will however you will reap many rewards, as you discover more about yourself, the land and the amazing history behind the trail, along with stunning wildflowers, Aussie wildlife, changing landscapes and our own hidden gems (there's nothing like the AW Style)
FITNESS/HEALTH REQUIREMENTS:
You will need to be fit and in good health in order to enjoy the experience. We strongly recommend that all walkers have a medical check up before walking the Trail, and consult your Doctor if you have any ongoing health problems that might affect you over a 8 day walk. Then we suggest some warm up walks, increasing in length over a period of 4 to 6 weeks prior to walking the Pilgrim Trail. In that way, you will be fit and able to fully enjoy a really memorable experience.
GROUP NUMBERS ON TOUR:
We will take a maximum of 10 ladies ONLY on this tour - be early to secure your place.
TRANSPORT:
Transport is in a comfortable Private Bus from Perth, all pickups to/from track and main luggage transport to and from accommodation while you're out walking. (You will only walk with a day pack each day)
The Camino Salvado Pilgrim Trail will attract people from all walks of life, including those who have faith, those who are seeking faith.... or those who have no faith. We ask that there is no judgement passed, no forceful opinions and that everyone respects one another's choices for taking this pilgrimage. This is a journey about digging deep .... learning more about yourself, about others, connection with nature & land and/or a higher good, reflection & renewal. It's not an easy walk in the true spirit of a pilgrimage, it can be monotonous at times, hard on the feet and tiring, so the most important thing is to bring along with you is 'a pilgrims attitude' and you won't be disappointed.
