Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I book my accommodation?

    For Long Distance Walks:
    Once you have decided on your dates and the route you wish to take, simply complete a Booking Form and return it by email, post or fax to Easyways. Alternatively, you can give us your details over the telephone. If you require any assistance in route planning then please do not hesitate to contact us.

    For Walking Package Holiday:
    Please complete an Enquiry Form and return it by email, post or fax to Easyways, or you can make your booking over the telephone.

  • How far in advance do I have to book?

    It is always wise to book well in advance (especially in the peak months of May and June) since the routes are busy and accommodation is limited at some stages. However, last minute bookings are still possible, although you may not always receive your preferred type of accommodation. A suggestion is to start your walk mid-week since there is more likely to be a wider choice of accommodation available (as most walkers start at the weekend).

  • What if accommodation is not available?

    Every attempt will be made to obtain your preferred choice of accommodation. However, in the unlikely event that all accommodation is fully booked, we will contact you with an alternative suggestion (for example a possible change of start date or a change of route).

  • How do I pay for my accommodation?

    For Long Distance Walks:
    Most accommodation providers require a deposit in order to secure your room. Once Easyways has made your booking, you will be sent an invoice which gives you detailed information on the cost of your accommodation, the total amount of deposits required and the cost of the booking fee. If you are satisfied with the accommodation booked then you simply sign and return the invoice, together with your payment for the deposits and booking fee. We also have the facility to accept payment by credit card, switch and delta but please note that credit card transactions have a 1.85% commission charge. However, many previous clients from overseas have found that this is still the most cost effective method of transferring monies.

    The remaining balances are paid directly to the accommodation provider on arrival or departure at your overnight stop. It's easy!

    For Walking Package Holidays:
    For these packages a 10% deposit is required in advance followed by full payment four weeks prior to the start date of your holiday.

  • Can you arrange back-pack carrying services?

    Your walk can be best appreciated when travelling light. We can offer a back-pack carrying service in conjunction with Travel-lite (West Highland Way), Aberchalder Baggage Transfer (Great Glen Way), Carry-lite (St. Cuthbert's Way) and Trossachs Transfers (Rob Roy Way).

    Brochures can be supplied on request, and should you wish to take advantage of any of these services Easyways will be pleased to organise this on your behalf at no extra cost.

  • What if I have to cancel?

    If you find it necessary to cancel your trip before the start date then Easyways will make the cancellation on your behalf at no extra cost. This also applies to cancellations midway through your journey. It should be noted that any deposits and booking fees are not refundable. This system of only paying deposits in advance is used to protect the customer against loss of full payment in the event of any unexpected cancellation.

    However, Easyways strongly advises that you take out a travel insurance policy to provide cover in the event of cancellation, illness, baggage loss, etc.
