Make sure you know where the key to your accommodation is left because staff shortages mean that inns are often closed when you arrive in the afternoon

Yes, because we hiked responsibly on paths rather than drove around in luxury coaches or large sports utility vehicles

Weather was good, we made good time walking, didn’t get lost, people were
friendly, the representative of the walking company was very helpful
