“Walked the full 84 miles west to east under clear blue skies and high temperatures from 3rd -8th September. Accommodation was excellent as usual, clean and B& B owners friendly and open to discuss the time of breakfast so we could have an early start. The middle three days offered the famous views around The Sill, Sycamore Gap and Twice Brewed. Looking forward to next years trail -yet to be decided but if goes ahead will book through yourselves again.”Mr Rawdin, UK
