I have some specifics which include the activity level on the Reservations page
http://thinplacestour.com/reservations-and-tour-specifics/

ACTIVITY LEVEL

The Thin Places tours are active with considerable walking, standing and outdoor exploring. Guests should be in good health and be able to …

walk on uneven pavement and open fields
carry luggage a few blocks, and up stairs several flights of stairs.
be on your feet for 3 to 5 hours over the course of the day

To be honest – there is a lot of walking on unpaved surfaces – dirt roads and fields mostly. There is always the option of staying on the bus if the walk is particularly long. Last year we had two women who used canes and had challenges with heavy exercise. They went at their own pace … did what they could and had a wonderful time.

We’ll be spending a day traveling across Connemara taking the sky road to Clifden. Please let me know how you can help? We are scheduled to be there on Friday, May 18th. I look forward to hearing from you.

My main interest is historic places, celtic tradition. Since I am not Irish, this project is being postponed.
But reading Peter’s mail and your answer, I would really love to join you in 2012.
Please keep me informed.

Firstly to tell you a few things about Ireland that might be helpful – Dublin is a Unesco City of Literature , and you can learn about Joyce, Wilde and Becket. Last weekend I was in Sligo which is the north west of Ireland it is very beautiful and you can visit the grave of William Butler Yeats the Irish Poet. If you like surfing Ireland is hosting the European Surfing Championships this year in Donegal in September. When my brother was home from London , his children learnt to surf in Strandhill in Sligo. People from all over the world come to surf in Ireland. Galway is a beautiful city and has a festival in July this year. All the best and enjoy your visit to Ireland. Rosemary
