Ten questions to ask a camp
Almost every camp says it offers walking. Before you book, ask: how many walks run each day; who leads them and with what backup; how many walkers go together; how far and how long a walk is; whether clients can choose a walk or a drive each day; the minimum age; the walking season; whether the camp is fenced; whether clients can walk between camps; and what happens after the walk. The full list, with what each answer tells you, is in the free guide.
