Walking holidays for women travellers Walking Holidays for Women Travellers In the company of women Finding a niche travel experience that worked for her, Biddy Naylor is now having the time of her life and providing fabulous walking holidays for women travellers. By Briar Jensen. “After 25 years of social work I wanted to do something completely different, something more light-hearted and fun,” says Biddy Naylor 57, “and something that would give me the opportunity to travel in the countries I love.” Organising a 50th birthday holiday in Italy for a group of female friends was Biddy’s inspiration. So, in 1998 Biddy resigned from her job and established Valentine Travel, specialising in walking holidays for Australian women in Europe. Eight years and 300 guests later the company is definitely a success and Biddy is thrilled at being able to spend four months a year in Italy and France. Walking with women Biddy only markets to Australasian women. Biddy loves researching new locations for her holidays.

An indication of the walking involved on each of these tours, with details about distances covered and terrain, is included in each tour description, and we ask that you read this carefully before making a booking. On all of these tours, participants need to be well used to country walking and have a good level of fitness and balance. There are ascents and descents, climbs over stiles and terrain which can be uneven, loose, slippery or muddy. Appropriate footwear and clothing are essential. Only in weather conditions which are so extreme as to be dangerous would a walk be cancelled.
