I was hoping the Tour Manger, or anyone else, could advise it it's best to bring walking boots as well as just "normal" trainers. I was thinking of the Edith Cavell Nature Walk in particular.

Many thanks.

It isn't necessary to bring walking boots but if you wish to take them, you most definitely can.

I wish you an amazing trip!

Kind Regards,

Mildred

This is a fab tour and you will have an amazing time.

I did the Edith Cavell and the paths are very well maintained but personally I would say yes to walking boots - they are also handy if you do the Athabascar glacier trip.

If you do the Edith Cavell hike at dusk like we did, I would also suggest covering yourself in mozzie repellent from head to foot before you leave the hotel because there can be multitudes of the little devils up there! (It's also a very zig-zag road up to the drop off point on the mountain so, if you tend to get even the slightest bit motion sick, I would recommend popping a seasick tablet to be on the safe side)

All the best

Thanks a million for the advice - much appreciated. Good thing i remembered to buy insect repellent at the weekend too! I hope i enjoy it as much as you obviously did, i'm sure i will.

I am taking walking shoes, rather than heavy boots, which I am pretty sure should be good enough.

Mosquitos are the bane of my holidays. If they get me, I get a really bad reaction. I still have the marks from three bites i got in the Lake District this July. I think we need a buddy system to remind each other to spray repellent.!
