Es timate walking time You can use Naismith’s Rule to estimate the time needed for most walks for an average walker with a medium weight pack.

Allow 1 hour for: 5km easy going 3km scrambling undergrowth 1.5km thick bush, snow

Add 1 hour for every 600m uphill.

To allow for fatigue, add an extra hour for every five hours.

For overseas visitors 1km = 0.62 miles Waterfall Track. Photo: Murray Vanderveer
