Your home for the six nights is a 126 foot long converted 1930's Belgian barge with a working history of carrying cargo on the big continental rivers. Each cabin has two full size berths with reading lights, stowage lockers, and a hand basin. If you are travelling alone, we will arrange for you to share with someone of the same sex. Maximum group size is 12 and there is a qualified instructor on board to lead the activities. The emphasis is on the walking but there are interesting villages and castles to visit and you will have a chance to try mountain biking, canoeing on quiet canals and rivers, windsurfing or sailing.
All equipment is supplied.
You are of course free to take a day out to sit on the deck and watch the scenery go by. The total minimum distance is seventy miles which we spread between five full days and two part days. Daily walking distances are between 10 and 14 miles with longer and shorter options. Some days are fairly flat but others require a maximum ascent of 1300 feet. There is a variety of terrain from gentle low-level and forest walks to higher moorland and mountain walking.
