### Difficulty and terrain
This itinerary is relatively speaking a relaxed walk which includes walks of 10-12km per day on average The terrain is flat or hilly without steep ascents or descents. You will follow a mixture of dirt roads, woodland paths, minor roads and some busier roads close to the bigger towns and cities. The routes are well-marked with yellow painted arrows and a yellow shell on a blue background, and the itinerary is very easy to follow.
Please note this will be a small walking group of no more that 6 people and myself, so it will sell out
Each nigh there will be single room accomodation as close to the end point of the day as possible.
We will have one or two meetings before going so pople can ask questions
