“A unique and memorable experience. Good to excellent. A bit more demanding than I had expected. I have recommended your company to an interested party, and I will recommend Contours to any others interested in this walk. I have had very little contact with Contours because everything was done well, making contacts unnecessary.”Mr Sloan, USA

“Party of four, very well organised, luggage was well organised. All accommodation was good. Thanks. Would recommend Contours.”Mr Woodgate, UK
“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
