“ Excellent – just what we were after. A carefully constructed day for us covering a variety of terrain. Felt in safe hands when on the tougher stuff. I’m experienced in the hills but this was a great way to explore a new area, be safe whilst pushing the distance/ascent and have a sociable time too.”
