“Definitely the best trail I have done so far.”Mr Parish, UK
“The walk was spectacular in places if also a bit more strenuous than expected. We have thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip so thank you for planning and organising the whole thing for us.”Mr Yates, UK
“Extremely friendly staff whenever I had to telephone about the holiday.”Miss Walker, UK
“We enjoyed the contrasting landscapes that we journeyed over, the changing views & the highlights, such as Malham Cove & the many waterfalls. We were pleased to see the absence of litter on the route & in the towns & villages. Luggage transfer by Sherpa worked like clockwork. The taxis also worked well & were flexible. I would rate River House as one of the best B&Bs that I have stayed in.”Mr Hind, 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
“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
“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
“I was very lucky with the weather which helped. I really enjoyed it.”Mrs Durham, Guernsey
