When the activity level is too high

Occasionally, I see programs that look fascinating but have an activity level that is higher than I usually enjoy. Should I attend the program and try to challenge myself or play it safe?

    I would like to do the program in Dordogne, France, but the notes indicate participants need to be able to walk up to 9 miles a day! I might be able to do 9 miles, but the next day I would be useless.

    Check to see if the miles are broken up into several shorter walks and/or hikes. I have found there are often as many as three stops and four destinations each with short walking. I also have found that if you are able to get to the place that the group will hike to by some other means, or if the hike starts and ends at the same place you might enjoy the place where you find yourself and just meet up with the group at the next meetup point. The leaders should tell you where the rendevous (my attempt at French) will be!
