Sea kayaking vacation in Scotland

Pilgrims Way self guided walking tour, England
We were blessed with consistently clear, sunny almost 80-degree weather. And the small towns where we stayed overnight were charming and still very rural, but with nice accommodations and pubs. We have never been on a walking vacation of this duration, and it's by far the best form of locomotion.  (more)
