		Day 2, Day 3, Day 4
		Brian was our leader for another excellent walking holiday. Our first walk was typical of all of them, up and down quite steep hills more than once, and my word we felt fitter afterwards. By popular request we are showing the path profiles to enable our walkers to relive their experiences!
