kaybeeeeeee Posted September 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2013 DW and I are booked on this excursion but folks on my roll call have given me some pause for thought so I figured I'd ask here. DW has some issues walking. She's a bit unsteady and walks fairly slowly. She's adamant that she'll be ok on this, what bz calls a 20-25 minute walk. Can I get some opinions from folks that have recently been on this one? Is this appropriate for someone who has mobility issues? Has the walking path improved over what have said to me was a very uneven, rocky, root laden path? Thanks, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbound Posted September 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I got back on Sunday from my cruise but used cave-tubing dot com .... I previously did the cave tubing and when I did it last there was actually no rocks, it was complete mud. So I was quite surprised to find the rocks this time. It made it much easier to walk. The walk is definitely 20-25 minutes. Personally I think if there are mobility issues, it might be too much. They walk at a fairly good pace. If it were me, I would email them and see what they think. Just explain to them your concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irie Posted September 26, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 26, 2013 i have some mobility issues due to a nerve injury. i did this tour once and loved it. however, it is not the easiest of walks. i made it, but they could see it would be more challenging for me, and sent me on ahead with a guide that carried my inner tube for me. i tipped him for being so accomodating. but i admit that God made me with a level of persistence. since, suffering this injury 17 years ago i have been to israel 4 times and to europe for a month. i rarely skip doing anything. i do hate i slow groups up sometimes, but that's life and i do the best i can. with that knowledge, if you go, have fun. i did!!!!!

Thanks Irie. My DW and I were on the March of the Living last year and she did fine. She's a bit worse since them but shows the same level of persistence that you do. We'll let the organizers know what to expect and I'm sure they'll be accommodating enough to allow us to enjoy. I appreciate your response more than you can imagine.
