Itinerary description

|
Show original
Short but intense route. The trail starts at The Divide car park, on Milford Road. The trail is constantly ascending, with some moderate areas and others with a steeper slope.

Once up, you have a 360° view of the surrounding mountains.

We made an extension to Lake Howden.

I am not a mountain guide, I am not qualified to guide people and this route is only a reflection of my experience doing it. This information can never be considered sufficient to carry out any of the routes or activities described.

To practice adventure sports, hiking, mountaineering, etc., you need adequate physical conditions in addition to having technical knowledge and appropriate material, as well as knowing the environment, the characteristics of each place and checking the weather forecasts. Otherwise, if we do not have sufficient knowledge to carry out these activities with guarantees, we must hire the services of a professional or take a training course offered by clubs and federations.

I have done this route under my own responsibility and the assessment of its difficulty may not be shared by other users. Each one to do it under their own. The GPS positions displayed are not necessarily an exact guide to the route since the GPS positioning could have failed or not be accurate. The photos that are associated with each waypoint may not correspond to that position exactly. Rain, landslides, etc... can cause the condition of the slopes and trails to change. Everyone carries out these types of activities under their own responsibility.
Activities in nature carry certain intrinsic risks. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight some recommendations for hiking, which will improve people's safety. You can encourage this behavior by remembering these simple rules, which are as follows:
- Prepare the excursion to take in advance:
Check the weather forecast and check that the technical characteristics of the route are appropriate for you.
- Clothing and footwear must be appropriate for hiking.
- Carry enough food and water, some clothing, sunscreen, a hat and a charged mobile phone in your backpack. Walking sticks can also be useful.
- Always walk in company and only on the marked path.
- Always inform family or friends of the route you are going to take.
Remember: traveling through the natural environment carries risks. You walk at your own risk. Be cautious. In case of emergency, call emergencies (112).
