Walking holidays
For centuries people have travelled by foot whether it is was for a pilgrimage, to visit friends or family on the other side of a mountain, or simply to be at one with nature. Walking holidays have had a revival over the last decade and it's this combination of expertise and excitement about walking as a form of relaxation that has opened a whole new walking world for the 21st century, and yet one that will almost always take you right back in time.

Travelling with 11 strangers is never easy. Our group was very diverse in age, politics, nationality but you have to make it work. This is an adventure, not a holiday! Relax and enjoy the journey! (more)Jo Harvey

Climbing Maglic was the best part of the holiday. The scenery/views are stunning and the climb has a good mix of walking and scrambling. The lake towards the end is also beautiful, and an excellent place to have a beer.
