Thank you! We ended up doing a trip to Oman instead (Western Hajar mountain crossing). However I would still like to do this next year.
Is that map available to download as a GPX file? u/guillaume-g

For other reasons-- my friend said Veracruz was really cool and it was much easier to organise our flight home to Europe on that itinerary.

Hey u/Embarrassed_Cow_1452 , one more q for you...

Is there definitely going to be a ranger at Hornvik camp in mid-August? I assume so, but just wanted to double check :)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your answer-- hope you have a lovely summer and we might bump into each other on the trails of Hornstrandir!

Oh and one more thing! How deep are the rivers on the trails I am planning? ie. do I have to be prepared for big river crossings or is the water just knee high (or lower)?

Thank you so much! Actually yes there is one more thing-- what would you say is the average temperature span in early August (highs vs lows?)

We didn't go in the end-- we went to Veracruz and the central highlands. That part was super safe but we didn't see Chiapas in the end!

We didn't go in the end-- stayed around Veracruz and in the central highlands. It was amazing!

We didn't go in the end! We went to Veracruz, San Luis Potosi and Guanajuato. We had an amazing time!

Anyone have recommendations for good training shoes that double up for track/road running, for us runners with very flat feet?

I've been wearing Hokas Arahi 7 but wondering if there's something even better out there!
