5 - 8 days?
7 - 8 days (6 - 7 nights) gives you more time to unwind and really get to know an area and its people. The itinerary will usually include two days for sightseeing and relaxing. This is the original Footloose concept.
5 - 6 days (4 - 5 nights) might suit you if you are looking for some independent walking as a short break, or as part of a more extended trip.
Whichever option you choose you get the full ‘core product’ – accommodation, Route Booklet, the services of a Route Manager and days of walking along a continuous route.
Choice of Accommodation
All the hotels we use are conveniently situated along the route. All rooms are standard double/twin rooms with private facilities. On most routes you can choose Standard or Superior accommodation. Superior accommodation includes upgraded hotels where available. Where there is no upgrade available, you will be accommodated in the Standard hotel in a standard double/twin room (unless otherwise stated). Bed and breakfast (BB), Half Board (HB) or Room Only (RO) basis is indicated next to each hotel.
