Self-Guided Walking Holidays
Independence and Flexibility
On our independent walking holidays, you're just that……
independent. We will try to accommodate your group size,
bearing in mind availability of accommodation. If you want
to get up late, want to take a detour, it's all up to you…….
as long as you can get yourselves to the next B&B.
Some walking holidays have several days at the same
accommodation, so then it's really is up to you if one day
you decide you need a break from walking and want to ex-
plore the local village or town. We also endeavour to offer
flexibility into the independent walking holidays with our
walking notes providing you with choices, where available.
For most of our self guided walking holidays, you can start
your holiday on the day of your choosing, subject to
availability of course.
Maps & Personalised Walking Notes
We provide you with detailed local 1/25000 walking
maps. You will also be provided with our detailed
walking notes which as well as being regularly
updated are personalised for each customer. The
trail description itself is very detailed, to leave you
in no doubt about where you need to go next. The
walking notes provide information you won't find in
a guidebook with local sights to see, some of which
require a detour and it's up to you whether you
make the effort to go. They contain all the essential
information you'll need to ensure a relaxed and
hassle-free holiday.
Luggage Transfers
Whether you choose a Guided or Self-Guided Walking Holi-
day, with the exception of any backpacking treks in the
Alps, we provide a luggage transfer service. This means
that you only need to carry the most essential items with
you in your day rucksack, safe in the knowledge that your
luggage will be ready at your next over-night stop.
Tailor-Made Independent Walking
Found an independent holiday you like the look of, but
want to make it longer or shorter? No problem, let us know
and we can adjust the beginning or end of your holiday and
arrange another activity if you wish (such as a wine tasting
course) or just allow you more time to explore the local
town or village. There will be some suggestions on alterna-
tives to tailor your holiday on our website. For larger
groups we can, in some instances, create a holiday in a
new area just for you. So don’t hesitate to get in touch to
find out how we can help you.
“Was very impressed and grateful for so much information.
Instructions were very good & easy to follow." J & T Fawle
“Thanks again for a great holiday – your walking notes are far
and away the best we have ever had on our many such trips .”
P & R Watson, UK
Self Catering Walking Holiday
If you have a limited budget or are a group or family
that would rather be in one location for the full
length of your holiday, then you could consider self
catering. On our website you will find a number of
self catering options in different locations. We sup-
ply you with information about the area as well as
suggested walks and then you can do as much or as
little walking as you wish.
“Every thing went very smoothly, and your walking notes were
absolutely brilliant, by far the best of any we have
encountered in the various walking holidays we have
undertaken." H & J Campbell
Travel Options
“The walking grade was perfect - some days easy, some more
challenging and I appreciated the optional ascents. The highlighted
maps and walking notes were so helpful." J. Hulse, UK

Most of our independent holidays start on any day of
the week, subject to availability. Each holiday has
different arrangements for getting to your first
night’s accommodation before your walk starts.
Transfers from the local train station or airport are
often included in the holiday price, but NOT long
distance travel. Please see the holiday pages for
more details about what is included in the holiday
price and the start dates.
