Hi I am new to this forum and have not yet booked a holiday. To be honest I am a little scared. My question though is about the best holiday for someone with limited mobility. I have osteo arthritis and find walking far or fast difficult. How hard would the Euro star holiday to Belgium be or what would members suggest. Thanks

Hi Marion. And welcome. Please do not be scared. I suffer from an arthritic spine and although I don't have many problems going up hill I do have problems coming down steps and slopes. I've been to Cilento Coast (twice) Istria and this October to Tuscany with Just You.

To be honest I haven't had a whole lot of problems. I find that usually on the included trips that the walking is done at a gentle pace and the Tour Managers are very considerate of anyone who may be slower. They would also be able to tell you if there is a lot of longer walking. I am pretty sure that someone in Customer Services would be able to help you too.

I can't speak for the Belgium trip I am afraid because I have never done it.

Sorry I can't help more. I hope you find something that you would like to book. :thumbup:

Thank you so much for your response. I do feel much more encouraged now. Your trips sound excellent. Will look at them and also talk to Customer services.

Hi,

I went to Croatia with a lady with severe OA in her knee and she faired well. The key is to check out the terrain of where you are going and if you think you cant make it then dont go on that trip but generally you get looked after well, so i shouldn't worry!

Mark

PS We're going to Cilento Coast inN September together and it has not stopped her.

Thanks Mark. I am newly diagnosed and new to the idea of singles holidays so all info is welcome especially the encouraging sort!
