"I don't know exactly what the living conditions are going to be.  It's likely that you'll either have small bedrooms to yourself or share a common sleeping are."   The first answer is directed in Sophi's direction.   "We're not providing any mounts or vehicles for transportation, so you'll be walking.     As the journey should take around six weeks, they'll be concern if you're more than a week or two overdue.  So there's some room in the event that a side trip becomes necessary."
