activity level

I am considering the trip "Walking in the Lake District and Scotland," but am having a hard time getting answers about the activity level. It is described as "challenging," but the itinerary says there will be a choice of hikes of varied difficulty. Does anyone have a sense of how strenuous the less strenuous hikes would be?

Thanks.

However, there may be a variety of walks offered each day, which will differ in content and length.

I know you posted this a while back but just wanted to let you know that even the hikes designated as easy are pretty long (6-8 miles) and arduous. I haven't taken Walking Lake District but I did do HIking in England's National Parks. Hiking programs in UK are run by HF Holidays. The Brits are very serious walkers but if you're in decent shape and have good stamina, you should be able to keep up pretty well.
