All holidays will be lead by resident expert Katharine Sawyer, who has an MA in Archeaology & Anthropology form the University of Cambridge and is currently carrying out research on the Scillonian entrance graves and cists for a PhD at the University of Exeter. Her interest in all things Scillonian also extends to birds and sub-tropical plants.
For more information including full itineraries please contact Katharine Sawyer on 01720 423326 or go to her website at www.scillywalks.co.uk Please make all reservations through the hotel of your choice.
For all holidays you are advised to bring comfortable walking shoes or boots, a waterproof jacket and trousers, a sunhat and/or sunprotection and a pair of binoculars.
Please bear in mind that there is no transport on most of the islands and whilst walking is not strenuous we will cover up to five miles some days. In addition, visits to the uninhabited islands will involve beach landings by dinghy. You should therefore have a reasonable degree of fitness and mobility in order to enjoy these holidays to the full.
