“It was great to complete Alternative C2C. There were enough challenges (especially a disintegrating pair of boots!) and some inclement weather to help us feel a sense of accomplishment. Faultless baggage service from Trail Magic. Thank you very much.”

Mr Phillips, UK

“Overall this is a splendid alternative to the famous Wainwright Coast to Coast. It misses out the Lake District of course but the countryside and the towns you visit along the way are in no way second rate. It's Coast to Coast that you can do relatively easily in ne go within a two week holiday. I enjoyed it all really. I would recommend this holiday, and I already have! Several people I met along the way (doing other walks) were very interested.”

Mr Moon, UK

“This route takes you through some of the best parts of the Yorkshire Dales, and we enjoyed the section of the route across the Cleveland Hills.”

Dr Wilkins, UK

“Very enjoyable , the good weather was a bonus.”

Mr Johnson, UK

“Everything ran really smoothly. We loved all our accommodation and bags got transferred each day without any issues. We could concentrate on just enjoying the day. Lovely accommodation. Perfect scenery and weather wasn't too bad either. Have already passed on information to a friend. Organisation was very good.”

Mr Wells, New Zealand

“All arrangements were great, B&Bs were lovely. You do a great job.”

Ms Currie, USA

“Loved that this trail was not as crowded as reportedly the C2C. Beautiful waterfalls and nice diversity in hiking terrain - moors, forest, farmland. Would love to book with Contours again! I drool over the website and all the possibilities.”

Mrs Cueva, USA

“It’s a lovely route with lots of variation, and with many fine views.”
