Short walks

We prefer to do walks of four to five weeks duration, but we appreciate that many people are interested in much shorter walks. Therefore, as we post Jenny’s diaries on this site, we extract from them the best short sections, which are arranged below according to duration.

One criterion that we use, apart from beauty and interest, is that these short walks must have easy access to public transport at both ends.

The individual maps of these short walks show accommodation icons for each night. By zooming in on a particular icon you can see the precise location of the establishment where we stayed.
