Customer reviews from the Coast to Coast Walk
“Very challenging but enjoyable for this 65 and 68 year old couple. We really appreciated the work you put in to make for a great experience.”
Mr Clement, USA
“Thoroughly enjoyed, a great experience with varied walking, not to mention the challenge of walking across the entire country. Some outstanding accommodation booked, and it's lovely to start a day's walk knowing that wherever you're headed is going to be an excellent night. Have hardly stopped talking about it and have also been using it to inspire my Year 4 lessons this week, talking about scales, measurement and compass directions.”
Mr Pickup, UK
“Many thanks for organising an excellent trip.”
Mr Booth, UK
“We had a great time. Got great views especially in The Lakes and the number of birds and wildflowers just grew and grew. It was excellent.”
Mr Wagstaff, UK
“The support from Contours and the baggage transport company made everything easy.”
Mr Craig, Australia
“We did this walk the second time and it was again an exciting experience. The organisation was perfect. You couldn’t do better.”
Mr Sieber, Switzerland
“One of the best experiences I’ve had.”
Dr Fairbrother, USA
