WALKING HOLIDAYS

ANY KIND OF ACTION HOLIDAY IS GREAT EXERCISE, FROM MOUNTAIN BIKING TO SCUBA DIVING TO SKI-ING ETC.

AFTER CONSIDERING THE WALKING HOLIDAY IT WOULDN’T SUIT ME PERSONALLY. THE MAIN REASON IS MY SUN ALLERGY.

I WAS TOLD NOT TO GO OUT IN MID – DAY SUN. CAN GO OUT IN SUN, JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. MOST WALKING HOLIDAYS ARE SCHEDULED IN THE DAYTIME SO IT WOULD BE A BIT DAFT FOR SOMEONE WITH A SUN ALLERGY BOOKING SUCH A HOLIDAY.

WORKED IN TOURISM FOR A SHORT WHILE, SO HAVE MY OWN STYLE OF FITNESS HOLIDAY. NOT REALLY A MOUNTAIN TREKING, OFF PATH HIKER TYPE MYSELF EVEN BEFORE MY SUN ALLERGY, SO I WILL DO WALKING HOLIDAYS, BUT THEY WILL BE MORE COMPLICATED AND NOT QUITE AS HAPPY GO LUCKY.

GOT LOADS OF IDEAS FOR THESE, BEEN PLANNING THEM FOR YEARS.

MORE LIKE THE UNROUGH GUIDE TO THE WORLD I SUPPOSE. HAVE TO LAUGH, WAS CALLED A MADAM IN PARIS, BECAUSE WE WERE SO FUSSY. AT THE SAME TIME THE HOTELIER RESPECTED THE FACT I RESPECTED HER HOTEL STANDARDS.

AT THE MOMENT SOMEONE HAS BEEN DOWNGRADING HOTELS TO LOW END VINTAGE, WOULDN’T STOP ANYWHERE LIKE THAT.

SOME PEOPLE ARE HAPPY TO PHOTOSHOP PHOTOS AND LIE ABOUT HOTEL STANDARDS. WOULDN’T DO THAT MYSELF, BECAUSE SOMEONE LIKE ME WOULD BE IRRTATED BY THE LIE.

GOT A FEW TIPS I CAN SHARE AND COULD SAVE PEOPLE WHO LIKE MY STYLE OF HOLIDAYING ALL THE HARD WORK OF FINDING CLEAN HOTELS OF A CERTAIN STANDARD.

WONDERING IF IT IS A BIT LIKE CAROLINE VERNONS FACIAL ROUTINE. IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH THE PRODUCTS ARE STILL THERE.

DON’T MIND BEING HONEST EITHER. HOLIDAYS ARE MEANT TO BE A HOLIDAY IN MY BOOK.

WOULDN’T BE WALKING MUDDY BOOTS INTO A DESIGNER HOTEL EITHER AS WOULDN’T BE WALKING IN MUD.
