Walking and Cycling Holidays
For anyone who truly loves to walk or cycle, the
experience takes on another dimension in an
international location. Discovering a new land at a slow
pace with the ability to stop or change your route at
any time is a truly magnificent way to spend your
vacation.
Pre-planned walking or cycling holidays free you from
having to worry about getting your suitcase from A to B
and from having to arrange your accommodation each
evening.
In some cases the trips are fully escorted while in
other cases they are truly independent.
The suppliers of these trips will pre-arrange your
accommodation and breakfasts, provide luggage transfer
between your hotels or guest houses and ensure you are
equipped with reliable maps (and often GPS), directions
and support. On the cycling journeys, bicycles are
provided and are adjusted to suit your height and build.
We have hundreds of these journeys available all over
the world. In fact, we have so many that it is
impossible to describe each of them here.
We suggest that you talk to us about the type of walking
or cycling trip you are interested in and we can provide
a selection of brochures which describe those journeys which meet your needs.
The
following two tables contain just a few samples of the types of
walking and cycling journeys which were available in the past year.
We used to try to update these tables when the new brochures arrived, but frankly
this is a monumental task and we continue to be far behind in our
efforts.
We have all the latest brochures available and can forward them to
you quickly.
