“The route notes were very good which is so important for a worry free walk.”Mr Le Sueur, UK
“A good route with a lot of variation, aided by excellent walking weather.”Mrs Burridge, UK
“Everything worked like clockwork. We hadn't done one in about 20 years (with you) and it was just the same. Turns out the weather was rather warm for this time of year but not much you can control about the weather. Very much enjoyed the walk. Fun, fun fun. Loved the towns, paths and the views where at every step. We did a holiday 20 years ago with you and never forgot, so we booked this trip.”Mr Blackley, USA
