CORSICAN MOUNTAINS & VILLAGES

Written September 2011
Apart from the heavy rain on the first day the weather was hot. The scenery has expected spectacular. The walking was more mentally demanding due to narrow trials and loose stones. Corsica is rather laid back so expect the trains to be late and full. Food is not as good as mainland France but plenty of it.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
The scenery!
What did you think of your group leader?
Good. No navigation errors. He had prewalked and marked paths in advance. Good preparation! Would have been good to have a local to know more about Corsica.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
The walking requires concentration as they are mainly on loose stones and narrow.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Corsican like meat so vegeterians be warned!

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Nothing particularly outstanding,each day was just enjoyable.
What did you think of your group leader?
Alex was a lovely man, calm, unruffled & looked after the group very well.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Go for it.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
This trip really needs a dedicated mini bus for the group. The Corsican transport system is somewhat unreliable & generally over crowded.

It was absolutely fantastic. The Island is gorgoeous, the hotel was nice, the hikings was great. The only dissapointment was the average age and maybe exodus can be on their website the average age of the group?

A friendly small hotel in a pictureque village, laid back walking through unspoilt forests, wildflowers and clean air.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Swimming in pristine mountain pools. Sipping beers cooled in mountain streams.
What did you think of your group leader?
Rudy was very thoughtful and looked after all the guests very well. Walks were well planned to suit all guests and to see as much of the area as possible, An excellent leader.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Trip notes accurate about the vegetarian food, may be a good idea to take some snacks.. Starters and desserts (and house wine) generally very good but mains could be a bit sparse.

Corsica is a beautiful island. Well worth a visit.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
The last day walk around the mountains of Bocagno. Great views and lovely scenery. The swims in the mountain pools were good too, if a little breathtaking!
What did you think of your group leader?
Rudi was a good leader. Organised, sociable, and takes a special prize for getting the group into Ajaccio on our (and his) day off because of a lack of public treansport. A really nice guy.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
The walks are not aleways in the mountains, so be prepared for some low level forest walks as well. However, Corsica is a great place either up or down. The hotel was friendly and provided a goos variety of food-even for the vegetarians.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
This trip is a good early summer break, and the smell of the wild herbs and lavender as you walk adds to the appeal.

Gentlee walking in fantastic scenery, great taste of corsica. I suspect we will all return. Walks are lacking in a focus but scenery compensates.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Tour guide trying to convince us to swim in ice cold water.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
my first trip was led by a thin tall french guide who marched us up hills for 12 hours at a time. The food in the hut was a meagre sausage and peas. He carried a small stove to malke himself coffee and always gave us the impresson we were not save in the hills without him. For this trip we had a portly swiss guide, whcih was a sign than the walking was not too severe and that the food in the hotel was good. He hid beers in the streams for us to find and had the key to a shepards hut to arrange a picnic with english tea for all. What joy to see a swiss guide trying to cope with the french trains and buses. Never on time and often on strike.Thats corsica where time runs at a different time.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Several times we walked from the woodland into high open areas with superb views. My wife & I and I are keen to do the GR20 at some stage.
What did you think of your group leader?
Very knowledgable of the routes - never any doubt. He led at an appropriate speed for all and knew about local history , flora & fauna. He was flexible e.g. the train service on Corsica is a variable feast & he was able to adapt to alternatives when appropriate.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Corsica isn't high on awareness as a destination , but well worth a trip. Good beaches on the day off walking , but would bother with the bus tour of Ajaccio.
