“All the arrangements, including accommodation, transfer taxis and baggage transfers worked extremely well. The weather was perfect and the quality of walking on the Dales High Way was brilliant, spread over eight days. The descent from Ingleborough was hair raising, as described in the guide book; we are very proud that we have done it though!”Mr Turner, UK
“The walk involved a route of hillwalking during the day, with occasional descents into the dales, with lodging in the dales at night. The countryside varied from rural to wild to small-town civilization. It was a delightful mix. We are researching and planning our next holiday already.”Mr Brancheau, USA
“A fabulous walk. 4 days of perfect weather helped but the places & walking was lovely. All worked smoothly. No problems with accommodation encountered. All went well. Well organised.”Mr Towey, UK
