Itinerary Planning

Welcome >> Services >> Itin Plan

Planning Itineraries for walking the Wall is what we specialise in. We often get asked "can you tell us exactly how far we will be walking each day and where we will be staying each night?" - and the simple answer is 'actually no, because we don't know' - that is, we don't know precisely what your personal Itinerary will be, until we have created it and then checked to see that it's viable (eg ensured that accommodation is available for the time that you would need it).

We offer Accommodation & Services at five different levels (I Denarius up to V Denarii) and we generally provide Itineraries that range in duration from 1 to 10 Nights. In order to achieve this, we're in daily contact with Accommodation Providers that we're comfortable with using (from a pool of around 100 providers, which we feel can meet our clients' expectations).

Depending on the level, duration and other preferences of the client, we have a tried and tested model that we then design an Itinerary around - which gives specific concern for comfortable daily walking distances, terrain and sites of interest en-route.  However, this isn't cast in stone, as many of the accommodations we would like to secure for our clients, may only have two to three rooms in the first place, so it doesn't take much for them not to have availability.

If accommodation availability is difficult in a particular area, it can then result in a knock-on effect that entails a re-adjustment of the initial planned itinerary to a one that works just as comfortably, but in a slightly different way.

So in short, although we may arrange hundreds of itineraries each year, rarely are two identically the same. There will even be occasions where we will offer you the opportunity to adjust your accommodation level for one or two nights, because we believe that will work well for you. One thing is for certain, careful planning and preparation goes in to every itinerary that we produce - Yes, there is 'method in the madness'.
