Overview of each section

The Six Foot Track is one journey made up of many parts. These sections help give you a sense of what to expect each day, what the walking/terrain will be like and what facilities you will find.

The huts can be booked. You need to be prepared to camp if the hut is full or in case you are unable to reach the hut (due to issues such as extreme weather, injury or illness).

This is a wilderness walk. There are no power points, phone charging stations, road access, places to buy food or any other services. There is only very patchy mobile phone coverage at some of the higher peaks. You truly do need to be self-reliant. There are also friendly people, amazing flora & fauna as well as incredible scenery.
