Have you ever yearned for a walking holiday along one of Britain's many Long Distance Paths and National Trails but found yourself put off by the thought of packing damp clothes into a heavy rucksack every morning, walking alone, prebooking numerous guesthouses, or being unsure whether the route would be easy to follow? Walking holidays Cornwall - For more click here If so, we have the solution! Join one of our guided walking groups.For over a decade, we have been operating guided walking holidays along many Long Distance Paths and National Trails. What distinguishes our walking holidays is that we have eliminated the need for daily packing and moving on. Daypack Hikes are guided walking holidays based at one suitable location on, or adjacent to, the walking route. Footpath Holidays provides transport from a prearranged meeting point to the start of each day's stage and transport back to that same point at the end of each walking stage. We also provide an experienced walk leader. How big are the groups, and who are my fellow guests likely to be? Our groups are small in size, the maximum number of guests is usually around sixteen, plus the leader. The groups generally consist of a mix of new clients and ‘regulars' from the United Kingdom and worldwide. We are very proud that virtually all of our guests return year on year to enjoy the unique format of our Daypack Hikes. We feel that our tours are equally well suited for couples, friends travelling together or single guests. It would be most unusual for someone to find themselves as the only ‘single' on a tour, and we certainly have many single guests amongst those ‘Daypack Hikers' who come back time and time again. Although guests on the Daypack Hikes find their own accommodation, and therefore disperse at the end of each day's walking, we do tend to find that quite a few meet up again in the evening to socialise. How easy or tough are the walks (hikes)? All the walks in our Daypack Hikes programme are based upon named Long Distance Paths, so they follow a fixed route, with a fixed mileage. All the tours are graded with regard to the terrain encountered along the route and daily mileages are indicated alongside each tour description. For details of our terrain grading system click here . Please read this section carefully. If you have any misgivings or doubts as to whether a particular tour is right for you, we will be more than happy to discuss it with you. Walking is generally at a relaxed pace, with time allowed to enjoy places of interest, spectacular views, lunch and coffee breaks, etc.. Our priority is for you to gain maximum enjoyment from your walking holiday, in safety. All of our leaders are experienced walkers and competent navigators and although they will make every effort to stick to the named route they may, from time to time, find it necessary to alter a route or part of the programme to allow for conditions. Such changes may be made in the interests of an individual, or the safety of the group as a whole. We ask that our guests respect the judgement of the tour leader, act prudently at all times, and follow the Country Code. |
