I am going on my first just you holiday walking in the Ayr Valley in September. Is anyone else going. I've always been away with friends before and now I've booked it I'm a bit worried.

Hi Patcy, just returned from the Ahr valley, this was my first Just you hol and it was fantastic, even the long coach journey was made easier by the excellent rep, the hotel is very comfy and the scenery/walks stunning-enjoy. Allan

Hi Al. Glad you enjoyed your trip. Did wonder about the coach journey but I can take a book. Thanks.

Hi Patcy. I also did the same trip with Al and confirm it was a great little trip. I am also going in mid september and I cant wait, as this will be my 4th visit. I was asked by my fellow travellers, as to why I go on this trip so often and not venture elsewhere.I do venture to other places. But once you visit yourself, I think you may understand. Anyway I just like it! Some folk like to visit Blackpool or Great Yarmouth regularly, as for me I like Altenahr. The coach trip isn't too bad, But then again I do not mind travelling.

Hope to see you there. I have put some photos of the last trip in the holiday snap bit.

Hi Jacki.

You don't need to be super fit, for this trip. As the walking is done on decent paths or tracks in general. And is very relaxed and subtle. However there are one or two short inclines, and a little bit of a goat type track to encounter, And all of this will be on the main Red Wine Trail walk. My advice is though, having done this 3 times before, is go prepared for both rain and very hot sun, meaning water proofs, top and bottoms,hat,sun glasses,sun lotion, and some water would be ideal.I say both half of the water proofs, as on the main walk, the second half of it. Is all open with little shelter. A good pair of walking boots would be ideal, but not essential as you could do this walk in trainers, however if the weather isn't kind to us, then they could get ruined.

Hi Jacki

You don't need to be super fit. As the walks are generally flat. But there are a few Up bits. Just take your time. And go prepared. And enjoy,

Hi Jacki and Patcy,

This is my first trip with just you. Glad I'm not the only one who's feeling a bit nervous. I'm joining at Long Eaton. So, see you on Monday.

Hi Cindy B, Remember me? This is the first time I have seen this message from you. I am slow or perhaps just a typical man he he. Anyway it was great meeting you as it was with the complete group. It was a great little holiday despite the travelling. Oh I was home at 9.30am. I expect you had done your washing and shopping before I even got home. Well it wasn't that bad was it. And I bet you are wondering why you were so nervous in the first place. And now you can start planning your next trip. That was the 5th holiday I have done. And all have been very good. I only have 14 weeks until my next trip. Which will be down to Austria for Christmas.

All the very best, And hope our paths cross again sometime.

Andy
