    Self-guided walking for 8 days on the South West Coast path from Minehead to Westward Ho, about 90 miles. The weather was glorious, sunny but not too hot (which helped) and the coastal scenery was spectacular, undulating for the first few days, then flattening out.

    Essentially Mickeldore are an agent that organise accommodation and luggage plus an occaional taxi tranafer if you are staying away from the trail. They also supply the necessary route documentation. They are are very efficient in all these aspects and communicate well. Clearly one could organise this all oneself, but in practice this would be a nightmare where accommodation is in short supply and possibly not much cheaper (if at all).

    We had a lovely journey walking along the Thames Path, staying overnight at selected inns and hotels, visiting small villages on the way. We completed the journey at the Thames Path Barrier, a fantastic feat of architecture and engineering!

    I was having a wonderful hiking holiday when half way through I was struck down with a knee injury (not while hiking). Mickledore sorted everything for me. As I was on my own, a foreigner, staff phoned everyday checking on me and having a chat (she became my best buddy for a few days).

    Mickledore arrange hiking holidays. I found the accommodation ranged from standard to luxurious, especially with the B&Bs. We are provided with a water proof, tear proof map and one month free with OS maps offline. Mickledore have plotted the walk on OS maps, anytime I wasn’t sure where to go all I had to do was look at OS maps and follow the blue line. For someone with a poor sense of direction, this was so good and made me feel safe.

Grading System

The grade reflects the overall difficulty of the walk and takes into account the overall length of the route and how far you walk each day. It also includes how much ascent and descent there is, what kind of terrain the route crosses, and how good the going is underfoot. We also consider how well the route is signposted and whether the route presents any navigational challenges.

Easy

These are our easiest walks, covering flat and undulating terrain, and usually not more than 12 miles a day. Paths and tracks are generally well defined and well maintained. Navigation is usually straightforward.

Easy - Moderate

These holidays have an average of 15 miles a day or less on mostly rolling countryside and well defined paths, with some sections in more hilly terrain. There may be some bigger climbs, up to 250m, but not every day. For our self guided holidays we recommend you can navigate from a map.

Moderate

With a maximum of 20 miles a day these holidays typically cross more remote mountain and moorland terrain for more than one day, with total climbing of up to 1000m. Whilst most of the route follows well defined paths, there may be sections where the path is indistinct, so you need to be able to navigate with a map and compass for these walks.

Moderate - Challenging

With a maximum of 24 miles, much of the route will be over remote mountains and moorland, and there will be sections of rough or boggy ground and indistinct paths. Competence with a map and compass is essential.

Challenging

Similar to four boots, but many days will involve total climbing of up to 1200m, with significant time spent in mountainous and moorland terrain. There will be some long days out, so you need stamina! You will need to be an experienced and fit walker, confident in the mountains and on the moors in poor weather. Again, competence with a map and compass is essential.
