What Others Say

The Dales Way

We loved the Dales Way. Wonderful riverside walks, views and villages to enjoy. Accommodation was a great mix of hotels, B&B and inns. The spacing of 14-16 miles worked perfectly as did the transportation of luggage. Would thoroughly recommend the Dales Way for a week of walking.

M. EeckelaersUK

Coast to Coast Walk - 18 Days

It's a fantastic walk and also something of an extended pub crawl. The team did a great job of sorting out accommodation and luggage for us. Everything went smoothly and we will be considering another trip next year.

J. GraylandBirmingham, UK

Coast to Coast Walk - 15 Days

Everything was very well organised, all we had to do was enjoy the walk.

K. PickeringBradwell, United Kingdom

West Highland Way - 10 Days

Luggage delivery and pick up flawless. No damage or delays. West Highland Way day 3 and 4 more challenging than we expected. Distances and times were questionable around Loch Lomond and we had perfect weather. Totally loved the walk accommodation excellent. We were blessed with perfect weather.

L. RobsonStirling, Australia

Cotswold Way

Loved the walking and the information provided was great, loved the hand drawn maps in the guide book and the luggage transfer was wonderful. Met some lovely people while walking solo too. The signage along the way was generally good. When one of my accommodation bookings got lost, the emergency number was useful and managed to sort out the problem quickly.
