1) What kind of weather can I expect in Cornwall in October / November?
Average daytime temperatures will range from mid-50’s to low-60’s. Rain is fairly infrequent at this time, but participants may wish to bring a lightweight, waterproof jacket or a small umbrella just in case.
2) Can I arrive before or remain after the sojourn?
Yes. If you would like to arrive at the start location in advance or remain at the end location after the sojourn has concluded, Scholarly Sojourns can help you arrange your hotel accommodation and is often able to secure attractive rates. Please indicate these preferences to us after you have registered for a particular sojourn.
3) How much walking will be required on this sojourn?
Many of the sites we visit require uphill walks of approximately one-half mile. Most of these have a fairly moderate incline, but a few do get steep in sections. In general, prticipants should feel comfortable walking up to a mile at a time and be capable of climbing up to three flights of stairs at a time.
4) I am a single traveler, can you help me find a roommate?
Scholarly Sojourns will do all we can to match single travelers with a suitable roommate if they desire. But we cannot guarantee that roommates will be available. Therefore all single travelers should register as such and be prepared to pay the single traveler rate should a roommate not be identified.
5) Is this sojourn appropriate for children?
This sojourn is not appropriate for children. Young adults, however, will find the program quite enjoyable, and they may find it gets them extra credit in their Art History class.
The meeting point for this sojourn is the railway station in Plymouth, England. Participants making their own travel arrangements should plan to arrive here by 1:30 PM on the first day of the sojoun.
