Your first message

What helps us plan well

Five things make the first reply useful. None of them is required: a single line is a fine start.

  1. 1

    Rough dates

    A month or a window is plenty. Flexible dates often mean quieter huts.

  2. 2

    Who is travelling

    How many of you, and the ages of anyone under sixteen.

  3. 3

    How you like to walk

    A recent walk you enjoyed tells us more than any fitness level.

  4. 4

    Where you sleep best

    Shared huts are fine, or you would rather have a private room every night.

  5. 5

    Anything to plan around

    Knees, diets, a birthday on the trail or a train you need to catch.

An example message

Hello Cairnway,

Two of us, both in our fifties, would love a walking week in late June or early July. We walk most weekends, about 15 km with some hills. We liked the look of the hut route but would prefer a private room where possible. One of us is vegetarian.

Thank you!
