Am I fit enough for a walking holiday?

Some people who have not travelled with us before ask the question: ‘Will I be fit enough for a walking holiday?’

You don’t necessarily have to be used to walking in the local hills or hiking up mountains! We want to make the great pleasures of walking available to all, so whether you’re an experienced walker or not, our wide range of leisurely to challenging walking grades ensure that there is something for everyone, whatever style of walking you prefer.

LEISURELY

E Grade Holidays

Any sort of recreational walking will have you in fine shape for a grade E holiday, for example weekend strolls across your local common, though not necessarily always on the flat.

SS (Sightseeing Holidays)

If you are happy walking around your local town for several hours then you will certainly be fit enough for one of our sightseeing walking holidays.

MODERATE

D Grade Holidays

In the past year you have probably enjoyed walks lasting several hours in Britain’s open countryside at least half a dozen times.

ENERGETIC

D+ Grade Holidays

You’re the sort of walker who enjoys a full day out in the Yorkshire Dales, the South Downs, along the Cornish or Pembrokeshire Coast Paths, or other similar undulating walks.

CHALLENGING

C Grade Holidays

You enjoy walking up British mountains like Scafell or Snowdon and really like the challenge of reaching a peak.

C+ Grade Holidays

If you are happy climbing Ben Nevis and crossing Striding Edge, then you’re fine for a grade C+ holiday. Walking plays an important part in your life and you are up for a challenge.
