Fitness Please follow the questionnaire below and click the button next to the answer you wish to select    Back Choosing a trip Information on this website will enable you to choose the trip you will most enjoy. We include a general description of each area, a detailed itinerary and notes on accommodation, food and wine. On most days you can expect to set out at about 9.00 or 9.30 a.m. and return to your hotel in time for two or three hours of relaxation before dinner each evening. Although these trips are designed to be enjoyed by anyone who takes regular, or like so many of us irregular exercise, on most trips we may walk - slowly (!) - uphill for several hours so some practice, or initial fitness and stamina will enable you to derive maximum enjoyment from your trip.
