My wife and I live in N/E PA and are enrolled in the Sept 17 program. Would anyone care to share with us who is going on this date.

I'm enrolled for the tour Sept 3 to Sept 16 and looking forward to the walks. I know it will be challenging for me but I'm confident that I will be able to do.

Hi, Louise!
We did this program last year and, although it is fabulous, "challenging" is a good rating for it. Although there are often options that are less strenuous, I really wouldn't recommend it for someone with bad knees. ESPECIALLY the Cornwall section, which involves a lot of steep ups & downs. Think about it: for several days we put in a hike of 5+ miles on rugged trails BEFORE LUNCH.

I am enrolled in this trip in October. I am concerned about the difficulty, since I have arthritis in my knees. I would love people weighing in on their opinion of the trip's viability for someone like me, a moderate walker.

Louise, I just returned from walking in this area. I am in good physical condition and went to Cornwall on my own as I knew some of these "walks" were going to be challenging. they are but I picked ones I could do (3) and in one case it's actually hiking. I would not recommend this area to anyone who has any knee/back isasues. I regularly walk 10k so I am a real walker. the area is beautiful but next time I may try the Isle of Wight as the walks are less strenuous. And I would not consider going to Cornwall in October either.

I am on the May 28 Hiking Cotswolds & Cornwall. Can anyone give me some advice as to what to pack for clothing...waterproof hiking gear? what I might need for warmth. Also... what about a day pack? guess it might be good to have that? I have different sizes..small/large? Thanks... Linda

I've signed up for the July 9-22 trip. Anyone else out there signed up for that one?

I'm on the May 7--23 Cotwolds/Cornwall walking trip. Received "pre-hike" information in an email from Road Scholar, which indicated that I would get luggage tags and final information in a week. That was almost 4 weeks ago, but my phone calls to Road Scholar indicate that they are still planning. Anyone else receive any final information yet?

I'm looking forward to the June 25 trip to the Cotswolds and Cornwall. Thanks for the tip about the poles. I'll put them aside with all the other things I'm accumulating.
