Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to the top of some of the hills! Watching a 79 year old get to the top of those same hills! Lovely people to share those moments with.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Simone, our tour leader, and Ado, our driver/lunch chef, were both brilliant. Really fun to be with and always ready to help. I would love to be led by them again.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Read the trip notes so that you know what to expect and come prepared. Because some of the hills are quite long, it is worth doing a little hill cycling in the weeks before but, like I said above, the hills are generally a good gradient. Also don't be afraid to use an electric bike on this trip. Personally I did not need to, but one of our fellow travellers did and it really made her week more pleasurable.
There was unseasonably bad weather on our trip (end April, beginning of May) and we actually had quite a lot of rain on several days, but it was still an excellent trip. I would recommend bringing lots of layers and a waterproof jacket in case this happens to you.
Suggestions
The accommodation on this trip was pretty good on the whole. Do the wine tasting if you get the chance.
