Thanks for everything you did for me on the Coast to Coast in May. It was always very reassuring to arrive at night and find the bag etc waiting. Chris, UK, self guided 2006.

Thanks for organising our walking holiday - everything went according to plan and we had a good time. Claire, UK, self guided 2006.

We wanted to let you now what a fantastic time we had completing the Coast to Coast. The weather was very good, with only one wet day and although we had a few blisters and sore legs and shoulders, everything went better than we could have expected. All the B&B's and the YHA's were very good, making us feel very welcome...Thank you very much for orgainsising our trip and making it run so smoothly, we will have no qualms in recommending your company to anyone and we hope that you have every success. Mark & Tanya, UK, self guided 2006.

Thank you for an excellent trip west to east. At the start I was a bit anxious that I should find it all too much but with your and John's leadership I found I was able to cope - well most of the time! All the arrangements went so smoothly and your choice of accommodation was top class. Bev, UK, guided 2006.

Many thanks for all your efforts, the trip was well organized and we thoroughly enjoyed it - would recommend it to anyone. Even the weather was pretty good. Brian, Canada, self guided 2006.

Bob & I are still talking about our wonderful walk in your beautiful country. We got some great photos, too. Our group was so compatible and we've been in touch with each other, and also with Judith at Elim House in Bowness. They were really good to us, and it felt good to come back there after a busy day. Judy & Bob, USA, Dales Way guided 2006.

I just wanted to thank you and John for a smashing holiday - it did me the world of good and I frequently Iook at the photos - the memory will stay with me a long time. Hilary, UK, guided 2006.

It was an experience I’ll never forget!!! I would like to thank you for the organisation you did for us. The B+B’s were top notch, no complaints whatsoever, baggage transfers completed without a hitch.Once again thanks to you and your team for the organisation and we hope to use you again for our next jaunt. David, UK, self guided 2006.

Thanks once again for adopting me into the group - it was such a fantastic experience! Sarah, Australia, guided 2006.

I returned home last Thursday after a great holiday doing the Coast to Coast Walk. Thanks for doing all the organising - everything functioned like clockwork. The range of accomodation that you arranged was excellent - a good diversity. The holiday was better than I had imagined - the other people doing the walk, the inkeepers, the B&B operators, etc were all very friendly and great fun. It's on my list to do again. Richard, Australia, Self Guided 2005.

Doing the Coast-to-Coast with Northwest Walks was a very positive experience, one I would recommend to anyone willing to accept the challenge. Your planning and preparation were obviously informed and thoughtful. You and your Dad come across as good guys who know their stuff, which is all one can hope for in guides. John, USA, August 2005.

Thanks to you and your Dad for a great hike......Everything you had set up was appropriate, the B&B's were good to excellent, the beer was great.Roger, USA, August 2005.

Firstly thankyou for an experience of a lifetime!! Both Bob and I can't believe we did it.....Both you and your dad were excellent company - easy to walk with - and often entertaining. I would recommend Northwest Walks to any one who asks. Wynne, Uk, August 2005.

....had a fantastic time with you both on the C2C. Thanks again for giving me such a great holiday, your fine company and showing me some of the most spectacular scenery. Louise, Australia, August 2005.

Thank you for the organisation of our walk. We particularly liked the accomodation - the B & B's etc. Brian and Judy, Australia, Self Guided 2005.

Just a note to say thank you very much for organising our walk so well. We managed it in the 10 days (tough but achievable in the end). Dawn, UK, Self Guided 2005.

Hi Dean, just a quick email to let you know what a great time we had and would like to thank you for the great service you provided once again thanks. Tracey, UK, Self Guided 2005.

Dear Dean and John, It seems such a long time ago we were walking across the Coast2Coast.My feet have fully recovered!! It was a great experience and I have lots of very happy memories and photos. Both of you made this walk something to remember, your expertise, local knowledge and good humour helped us all through the longest days. Thanks again for a wonderful 2 weeks. Barbara, Australia, June 2005.

Thanks for a super time. Jo Ann, Canada, June 2005.

Phil and I have successfully and safely completed the walk from St Bees to Kirby Stephen. We had six days of excellent weather and absolutely no mishaps. Your organisation was excellent and our bags moved perfectly and just as planned; thank you for all your help. I have to say that I found the walk more physically challenging than I had had anticipated and I certainly would not have managed it without the baggage transfer. John, Scotland, Self Guided 2005

Many thanks for all the arrangements for my coast to coast walk completed last week you will be pleased, I'm sure, to know that all the arrangements went very well and I completed the walk on schedule. Margaret, Self Guided 2005.

Just a quickie to thank you for the excellent B&Bs and the delivery of our bags. The B&Bs were interesting - especially the Quacker House - and it was lovely to find our bags waiting for us at the end of a wet day. We did enjoy the holiday, although less rain would have been appreciated and then we could have seen the excellent scenery that we missed. Carole, UK, Self Guided 2005.

Everything went according to plan on the Coast to Coast walk. I had no problems at all, your service was excellent, the accommodation was very variable but always fine as far as I was concerned. Even the weather was good, but I don't think you can claim credit for that! I had about twenty minutes drizzle in 13 days - amazing. Brian, Ireland, Self Guided 2005.

We wanted to say a big 'Thank you both' again for looking after us so well and for organising the 2 weeks so efficiently. You were both so friendly & helpful and all of the accomodation was very well chosen.It will be 2 weeks that we will always remember. Brian and Gail, Uk, May 2005.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and John for a great holiday walking the C2C from 7 - 21 May 05. It was a big thing for me as it was something I had always wanted to do but wasn't at all sure I could complete. I was very impressed with the organisation, local knowledge (and patience!) which all made for a fantastic experience that I am never going to forget. I hope the company goes from strength to strength and I will have no hesitation in recommending Northwestwalks whenever the opportunity arises. Pauline, UK, May 2005.



Dear Dean and John, I would like to thank you both for the fantastic job you did in guiding us across England on the coast to coast walk. Without you showing us the way I am certain we would have got lost and at best taken much longer and walked many more unneccessary miles. Having you also allowed us to focus on the walk and enjoy it far more. Thank you also for the efficient transfer of our baggage each day which was always there when we arrived each evening. On balance the accomodation over the 16 days was very good. The guided walk was definitely very good value for money. I would have no hesitation in recommending northwestwalks to anyone who was comtemplating this walk. Thank you also for your help and friendship on the walk. I attach a copy of the daily writeups i did on the walk. Hope you enjoy them.(click here to view) Thank you again for everything you did for us. Tom Boyle, Australia.

Thanks for a wonderful time - it will live in my memory for ever. Tony B, UK.

Thank you for the terrific job you and your Dad did on my Coast to Coast Holiday. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Deborah, USA.

After coming back home to Italy, I wish to thank you for the great holiday I have spent thanks to North West Walks ! I enjoyed very much the C2C walk and I will keep a pleasant memory of the people I have met and the nice places I have seen. Paolo, Italy.

Thank you both for leading me on this venture. I am delighted that I was able to take part and to bring home so many memories and photos. Every day in every changing landscape and weather was a pleasure, and I appreciate all your wonderfully organized bookings and arrangements. Donna, USA.
