  WALKING IN SARDINIA

  

  Written May 2012

  An excellent trip with variety, it ticked all my boxes with great mountain scenery and walking, archeology, lovely beaches and at that time of year (Spring) a mass of coloured flowers everywhere.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  I think my favouite was the Gorropu Gorge, but also loved the Tiscali walk, visiting the Blue Marino Grotto on my free day and the mass of Spring flowers and in particular the spectacular orchids.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Eric was a good leader, but he did not have a great Knowledge of Italian which I think would have been useful on occassions. He was shadowed by Christine, who will do some of the future trips and she speaks Italian fluently.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  I did not have a problem with any of the walking and bit of scrambling on the Tiscali and Cala Luna walks, but some in the group were not so happy and there was a discussion at the end of the holiday whether it was slightly undergraded and whether some parts of the itinerary should be modified. To my mind it would miss out some of the best bits, so I think the holiday should stay the same and perhaps modify the grade slightly if felt necessary.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  I have been on the Evia and Amalfi holidays which are the same grade, but slightly easier, as I like a sea and mountainous holiday in the Spring when it is green and floral, and Sardinia was my favourite.  As a Coeliac I would recommend this holiday to anyone requiring a gluten free diet as the Hotel S'Adde went out of their way to provide for the diet.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Loved the last 3 walks in particular, each offering a chance to experience different aspects of the area.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  The leader did a fantastic job making sure that all group members had a good time/had their needs considered.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Dorgali is only a small town so be prepared to make plans to either explore further afield or take books etc. entertain yourself on the rest day.

  I found the terrain more difficult than I was expecting, although managed. Thought should be graded moderate. Group great company, leader Rudi fantastic.

  Finishing the walks in one piece. Views from the top of tuila.

  Great beaches, esp cala luna at the end of a tough walk.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Rudi was exceptional, planned everything down to the last detail. He made the experience very enjoyable

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Make sure you are aware of the terrain and potential difficulty of the walks.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Overall the holiday was enjoyable, but was dissapointed with the hotel as very limited facilities. Very noisy at night. Staff were great food excelent. Nowhere to sit and read in sun.

  For anyone with coeliac disease, this trip is perfection. You get wonderful food, and lots of it. I managed to put on weight in spite of the energy expenditure, which was considerable!

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  It was the scrambling bits - both the boulders at the end of the Gorropu Gorge, and having Rudy encouragibng me to climb right up to Tiscali. I never thought I would be able to do such things. I can't thank him enough for saying go ahead

  What did you think of your group leader?

  see above. Rudy is a gem, and a gent, what else can I say

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Anyone my age (63) have a go. I walk a dog 3 hours every day for exercise, I have a degenerative nerve condition which makes me weaker than I would like to be but the walks were great and certainly stretched every joint, plus overcoming the fear of heights - go for it. I wish I was still there

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  If you want a fascinating view into prehistoric Sardinia, plus some amazing walks, plus some adventure, plus some swimming, plus the best food you will ever eat, go for this holiday

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  The walk and scamble to Tiscali was truely memorable for its challenging but stunning route.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Our group leader Rudy was the most organised and calm person I have met! He led the group from the back so ensuring whatever the abilities of the group members all had an enjoyable trip. He was an excellent guide who made the trip very memorable.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Bring walking boots and be prepared to be fed a lot by the hotel!

  Highly recommend this trip

  This was an excellent holiday with some interesting terrain and a few historic site as well as a couple of relaxed days without any long walks and time to ourselves. 

  Read full review

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  The last walk for me was quite an achievement as it was 15 km long and had some really rough bouldery streambed type terrain. The final destination at Cala Longa with a lovely long relaxed swin and return by boat to Cala Gonone ended an excellent week.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Ruedy was an truely excellent leader. Never trying to hurry those of us who were older and slower than most and allowing the 'gazelles' amongs us to proceed with out being held up. Also when one of our number had a cut knee he had all the skills to treat it and to accompany her for the rest of the distance which, as there was no road access to the path, says alot for his skills. His instructions were very clear and precise. Excellent!

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  My advice to other potential travellers is to be sure to have good boots and not just treking shoes. The heat was a bit of a problem on day one  28°C and we walked 16km and up 600m on a tarmac road.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  I would have classified the whole trip as Moderate and not as Easdy/moderate. Longest walk about 16km and we did not do the last bit of the Tiscali climb so can't tell about the difficulty of that.

  The final walk along the coast to Cala Luna followed by an afternoon on the beach and boat trip back was the highlight for me

  Rudy was an excellent group leader, very organized and helpful and great at keeping an eye on all members of the party

  Bring boots and shoes, the walking is quite varied and you don't need boots everyday
