Grand Cliff Top Walking Weekend

Walks will be up to 12 km per day, which includes walking up and down many steps. Maximum group size is 10. Please note evening meals are not included in this weekend, but there are many options for dining close to or within the hotel and most people enjoy having this free time to themselves.

dinner.

have the same value of inclusions. Sometimes track closures or weather
