|
Your holiday includes 7 nights accommodation from Saturday 23rd May 2009 to Saturday 30th May 2009, at Broadford Youth Hostel which is run by the Scottish Youth Hostel Association. Transportation to/from and during the holiday is not included in the price, nor is food. The guided walking holiday can also be booked without the Youth Hostel accommodation. This will leave you free to arrange your own accommodation and the price of the holiday will be adjusted accordingly. The basic cost of the holiday is £350.00. It is planned to do 4 days of strenuous high level mountain walking with 2 more relaxed days. All the guided walks on this holiday are very physically demanding. They will involve walking all day (estimated 7hrs minimum), the actual time will depend upon the capabilities of the group members. The walking will involve both steep ascents and descents, the height gain on each walk will be in the region of 900-1250m (3000-4000ft) with a minimum distance of 8 miles. Mountain terrain is by nature rough and rocky, paths will be used where possible, but these can involve negotiating boulder fields and scree. There may also be the necessity for some easy scambling. Therefore, to fully enjoy this holiday you will need to be physically fit and it is essential that you have previous experience of high level fell walking. The aim of the holiday is to provide an enjoyable and memorable experience for all among some of Scotland's finest scenery. To achieve this the group numbers will be kept low, maximum ratio 1:8, and the emphasis of the holiday will be pleasureable walking within a relaxed informal atmosphere. If you wish to ask any questions about the type of walking involved or would like to discuss the suitability of the holiday, please do not hesitate to phone or email me.
