WalkingWomen – Gentle & Low Intermediate Croatia
6 – 13 September 2014
The Dalmatian island of Brac lies off the coast from Split, threaded
by lovely old mule tracks through olive groves and pinewoods.
Ancient chapels and monasteries dot the island while along the
rocky coast there are pebbly coves that invite a swim and small
picturesque fishing resorts. Sutivan is one of these - built of famous
Brac stone, and at night you can see the lights of Split across the
water. Sutivan has no hotels, so we’ll do as the Croatians do and
stay in small apartments, all within walking distance of Pension
Dora whose vine covered courtyard and restaurant/bar we will use
as our focal point. Here we will share breakfasts, and meals on 4
evenings. On the 3 other evenings we’ll eat out at seafront
restaurants in smaller groups (these 3 meals are not included –
from £10). There is also a good supermarket in Sutivan where you can buy most additional food and
drink. The apartments are simple and typically Croatian, mostly with ensuite single rooms, and some
with 2 single rooms sharing a bathroom and a small kitchen. Some have a shady terrace for relaxing
after walking; some have sea views. At Pension Dora there are more conventional ensuite twin and
single rooms available. Besides a choice of Gentle & Low Intermediate walks each day, (which often
involve a swim stop!) we will also take a day off to enjoy the sea, hire a bike or sea kayak, visit
Diocletian's Palace in Split, or simply relax with a book! Guided by Lorraine & Madeline.
Price includes: 7 nights in ensuite twins (Full board except for 3 eve. Meals; airport transfer & all
walks transport.
Flights & Transfers – Flight to Split is not included We believe that this gives maximum flexibility and
the best chance of getting a good price as well as the option to extend your stay. Flights must fit with the
transfers below otherwise you will be responsible for your own transfer. To find suitable flights try

Walking boots - leather or waterproof fabric, broken in and comfy, with sufficient tread left for
good grip. Walking sandals are great for the evening, but the terrain is often too rocky to walk in
them during the day.
Several pairs of walking socks. If your feet blister easily, try 2 thin pairs of coolmax to keep
your feet cool.
Waterproof jacket/trousers - rain can occur in September!
Jellies or beach/swimming shoes - the beaches are quite stony and a bit sore on the feet
Ear plugs – if you might be disturbed by church bells
Insect repellant
Extra fleece or sweater – for the evenings
Shorts or lightweight walking trousers
Walking tops – you may also want something long-sleeved in case you want to cover up from the
sun.
Day Pack - to carry water, towel, packed lunch, camera & other bits and pieces.
Water flask or strong plastic water bottle, at least 1.5 litre capacity. A Platypus or similar water
system is very handy.
Sun screen, lip salve, sun glasses, sun hat, beach towel, swimming costume…
Walking poles – not essential, but very good if you have troublesome knees or difficulty with
uneven ground.
Cash in Kuna
Up to date Passport, Flight Ticket/booking reference number, and this information sheet
for contact numbers!
Non-essential, but they may be important to you!
Camera, spare film & spare battery, maybe binoculars, a mat to sit on during a drink stop. Torch and
spare battery. This sheet for contact numbers in case you’re held up getting to the airport! Phrase
book, flower book. Mobile phone – good reception in Sutivan. Zinc oxide tape is great on your heels to
prevent blisters (or Compeed blister treatment - in case you didn’t put tape on in time!) Lightweight
umbrella is great for the sun – either walking or propped over your head on the beach (well – I don’t
care what it looks like if it works!!) Favourite herb tea bags you might not be able to get in Croatia etc.
