On the trail

Area coordinators along the route are The Pekoe Trails eyes and ears. They know the estate superintendents, the village leaders and the state of every bridge on their stages, and they are the first to report a problem. Community guides, trained and registered with The Pekoe Trail, lead hikers through the landscapes they grew up in. If you hire a guide through The Pekoe Trail Company (Guarantee) Limited or a partner, your money stays within that community.

Volunteer advisers

People who generously contribute their time, expertise and professional skills to The Pekoe Trail on a voluntary basis.
