2026 Trek Analysis

Originally created as a data verification tool designed to catch errors and inconsistancies in the Itineraries Guidebook, or more likely mistakes made in data entry, I've found the report to be generally useful.

Most columns convey 'facts' about the trek ... like distance, difficulty and dry camps however the last column, 'Issues', is Philsearch's take on inconsistancies, missing information and errors.

All Intineraries must include: Opening Campfire, Closing Campfire, Food Pickup, Conservation Project. Itineraries with dry camps also must include water source(s).
