To Celebrate National Walking Month
There’s nothing quite like exploring the great outdoors on foot—especially when the pace is just right, the scenery is stunning, and the company is top-notch. Whether you’re meandering through peaceful countryside or taking in coastal views, a little preparation goes a long way to making your walking holiday as enjoyable (and comfortable!) as possible.

Our Top Walking Tips:
👣 1. Choose the Right Boots for the environment
Comfort is key! We strongly recommend well-fitted, waterproof walking boots with ankle support. Break them in before your holiday to avoid blisters on day one.
💧 2. Stay Hydrated
Always carry a refillable water bottle, especially on warmer days or longer walks. Little sips often are better than gulping it down in one go.
🎒 3. Pack Light but Smart
A small daypack with essentials – water, snacks, a light waterproof layer, and any personal medications – is all you need. Keep it comfy and not too heavy.
🌦 4. Dress for the Weather
Layers are your friend! They help you stay warm or cool, depending on where you are walking! A lightweight, breathable rain jacket is a must in the UK but not always essential in the warmer countries of Spain.
🥪 5. Bring Snacks
Energy-boosting nibbles like nuts, dried fruit, or a cereal bar will keep you going between picnic stops.

🧑🤝🧑 6. Walk at Your Own Pace
This is your holiday – there’s no rush! Guided walks are designed to be enjoyable, with plenty of pauses to rest for a moment and take in the view and scenery.
📱 7. Have a Phone or Camera Ready
Whether it’s for photos, navigation, or just peace of mind, a fully charged phone is always handy. And of course, a camera is a must to capture the beautiful scenery.
🧴 8. Don’t Forget Sun Protection
Even on cloudy days, the sun can catch you out. A hat, sunglasses and a bit of SPF go a long way.
🗺️ 9. Embrace the unexpected
Whether it’s a detour to a secret viewpoint, a curious donkey by the trail, or a local café that appears at just the right time – go with the flow.
🌼 10. Enjoy the Journey
It’s not just about the destination. Listen to birdsong, breathe in the fresh air, and take time to appreciate the little things along the way.
