Tour organizer's comments

The hiking route has a category 1A and will pass through swampy and rocky soils. The water route has a category 2 and will pass through a small number of thresholds of 3 k.s. These are relatively simple thresholds, but we will fully comply with the safety requirements for being on the water.
