Long Walks - Coastal Paths.
Certainly not for those not used to hard walks. Of course you can plan to only do half a route, or less, we will drop off and pick up at pre-arranged points or, if you give us a call, we can be with you very quickly. These longs walks, if connected together will circumnavigate the whole Island, this could be a challenge completed at one superfit go, or taken casually over repeated visits ???
