WALKING IN SARDINIA

An excellent trip with variety, it ticked all my boxes with great mountain scenery and walking, archeology, lovely beaches and at that time of year (Spring) a mass of coloured flowers everywhere.

Most Inspirational Moment

I think my favouite was the Gorropu Gorge, but also loved the Tiscali walk, visiting the Blue Marino Grotto on my free day and the mass of Spring flowers and in particular the spectacular orchids.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Eric was a good leader, but he did not have a great Knowledge of Italian which I think would have been useful on occassions. He was shadowed by Christine, who will do some of the future trips and she speaks Italian fluently.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I did not have a problem with any of the walking and bit of scrambling on the Tiscali and Cala Luna walks, but some in the group were not so happy and there was a discussion at the end of the holiday whether it was slightly undergraded and whether some parts of the itinerary should be modified. To my mind it would miss out some of the best bits, so I think the holiday should stay the same and perhaps modify the grade slightly if felt necessary.

WALKING IN SARDINIA

Fantastic walks, all of them interesting, excellent guide and lovely food

Most Inspirational Moment

The final walk along the coast to Cala Luna followed by an afternoon on the beach and boat trip back was the highlight for me

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rudy was an excellent group leader, very organized and helpful and great at keeping an eye on all members of the party

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring boots and shoes, the walking is quite varied and you don't need boots everyday

WALKING IN SARDINIA

A chance to do some lovely walking and meet some like minded people.

Most Inspirational Moment

Loved the last 3 walks in particular, each offering a chance to experience different aspects of the area.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The leader did a fantastic job making sure that all group members had a good time/had their needs considered.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Dorgali is only a small town so be prepared to make plans to either explore further afield or take books etc. entertain yourself on the rest day.

WALKING IN SARDINIA

This was an excellent holiday with some interesting terrain and a few historic site as well as a couple of relaxed days without any long walks and time to ourselves.

Most Inspirational Moment

The last walk for me was quite an achievement as it was 15 km long and had some really rough bouldery streambed type terrain. The final destination at Cala Longa with a lovely long relaxed swin and return by boat to Cala Gonone ended an excellent week.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ruedy was an truely excellent leader. Never trying to hurry those of us who were older and slower than most and allowing the 'gazelles' amongs us to proceed with out being held up. Also when one of our number had a cut knee he had all the skills to treat it and to accompany her for the rest of the distance which, as there was no road access to the path, says alot for his skills. His instructions were very clear and precise. Excellent!

Advice for Potential Travellers

My advice to other potential travellers is to be sure to have good boots and not just treking shoes. The heat was a bit of a problem on day one 28°C and we walked 16km and up 600m on a tarmac road.

WALKING IN SARDINIA

Amazing landscapes, mountains and beaches. The hotel was comfortable and the food was great.

Most Inspirational Moment

The walk and scamble to Tiscali was truely memorable for its challenging but stunning route.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader Rudy was the most organised and calm person I have met! He led the group from the back so ensuring whatever the abilities of the group members all had an enjoyable trip. He was an excellent guide who made the trip very memorable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring walking boots and be prepared to be fed a lot by the hotel!

WALKING IN SARDINIA

For anyone with coeliac disease, this trip is perfection. You get wonderful food, and lots of it. I managed to put on weight in spite of the energy expenditure, which was considerable!

Most Inspirational Moment

It was the scrambling bits - both the boulders at the end of the Gorropu Gorge, and having Rudy encouragibng me to climb right up to Tiscali. I never thought I would be able to do such things. I can't thank him enough for saying go ahead

Thoughts on Group Leader

see above. Rudy is a gem, and a gent, what else can I say

Advice for Potential Travellers

Anyone my age (63) have a go. I walk a dog 3 hours every day for exercise, I have a degenerative nerve condition which makes me weaker than I would like to be but the walks were great and certainly stretched every joint, plus overcoming the fear of heights - go for it. I wish I was still there

WALKING IN SARDINIA

I found the terrain more difficult than I was expecting, although managed. Thought should be graded moderate. Group great company, leader Rudi fantastic.

Most Inspirational Moment

Finishing the walks in one piece. Views from the top of tuila.Great beaches, esp cala luna at the end of a tough walk.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rudi was exceptional, planned everything down to the last detail. He made the experience very enjoyable

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you are aware of the terrain and potential difficulty of the walks.

WALKING IN SARDINIA

The Sardinia trip certainly makes walking more interesting, due to quite a bit of clambering over large stones and boulders. I thought that this made it much more fun than the usual tramping whilst admiring a view – and there was also some archaeology, to do with the pre-Roman Nuragic people.

Most Inspirational Moment

Sorry to those that didn't, but I particularly enjoyed the optional riding, which was over different terrain from the walking. I did this on the last morning, when I was given a decent-sized horse, Barony, who was smoothe and responsive. You don't need to book several hours, as indicated on the trip notes, and the E20 (I added a E5 tip, which was promptly offered back to me) I spent on one hour was well worth it - I should have done two. I'd advise going early, to save the horses from the heat.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Professional and enthusiastic, with the patience that's occasionally required. and a smile I'll remember.

Advice for Potential Travellers

You might like to pack ear-plugs, as there was noise on the Saturday night outside the hotel, and the walls let through some sound from adjacent rooms.

WALKING IN SARDINIA

A really lovely holiday – a fabulous, friendly family hotel, great food, fantastic scenery and some very good walking. I would recommend this holiday to anyone who likes good coastal walks.

Most Inspirational Moment

The trip to Tiscali was wonderful. It was quite a challenging ascent to the top but it was worth it. And the views on the way down were spectacular.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Eric was great. He really looked after us and was very knowledgeable about the area. He was also good fun to spend time with. He has lots of anecdotes and stories to tell of an evening to keep you entertained!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take some good walking boots and drink lots of water - otherwise, just enjoy it - it's a wonderful holiday.
