“Great and varied scenery helped by excellent weather.”Dr Latham, 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
“Thank you very much, as always, a really well organised holiday. The accommodation was all of a very high standard. We look forward to booking our next holiday with you.”Mr Hunt, UK
“Definitely the best trail I have done so far.”Mr Parish, UK
“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
“Extremely friendly staff whenever I had to telephone about the holiday.”Miss Walker, UK
“Very well organised and a lovely walk. I enjoyed all the days in their own way, but the 3rd day over Ingleborough was particularly enjoyable.”Dr Hutt, UK
“Very well organised, thank you, right down to the weather! We loved the curlews and lapwings over Ilkley Moor and Addingham High Moor; doing the three peaks over 24 hours was a satisfying challenge; and the traverse of the Howgills was magical. It was all good.”Mr Killingley, UK
“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
