Good company and great guides

Another Twixmas holiday with good company and great guides, Joe and John. Bonus of no rain, although battered by the wind on the ridge but that just added to the fun.

Impeccably organised trip

Thanks Joe, as always, an impeccably organised trip with plenty of stories and humour thrown in. Dolgellau is a fabulous location, great accommodation, pubs / restaurants, friendly locals and seamless transport links from London. Thoroughly enjoyed it - when's the next one?

Had a great time

Despite the weather we all had a great time walking Cadair Idris and the New Precipice walk. Joe's trips are well thought out for all walkers. TH Roberts tearoom was worth the trip to Dolgellau on its own.

We always have a laugh whatever the weather

Joe is one of the few people I know who can make a three-hour slog up a rain-soaked, mist-shrouded mountain entertaining. We always have a laugh whatever the weather. He’s constantly on the ball, thinking ahead, and making the right decisions to keep everyone safe. We were rewarded with spectacular views on the beautiful precipice walk on day two – recommended!

More scrambling adventures in the future

I can't thank Joe enough for organising this trip and allowing me to finally conquer my nemesis. Guiding from Joe and excellent tuition from John made me feel 100% safe. Add in top notch banter and you have a very memorable weekend. Here's hoping for more scrambling adventures in the future.

Another great walking weekend

Another great walking weekend - the Yorkshire Three Peaks were challenging, even when doing it over the two days! But the really friendly small group, and Joe, kept the motivation going! I felt a sense of achievement at the end of each day, which was then rounded off with an enjoyable evening with everyone - good chat, a good laugh & great food! Would thoroughly recommend to those wanting to walk & experience some of the best scenery Yorkshire has to offer.

“My first time walking with Country Adventures – it was a great weekend. Felt very confident with Joe as our guide. A good fun weekend.”
Sue (Easter Walking Holiday 2018)

 

“Lovely break in Castleton over the Easter break. Despite deep snow and white-out at times you knew you were in safe hands because Joe is an ace navigator (cue super hero music!). The staff at the YHA were brilliant and couldn’t do enough for you. Another great trip from Country Adventures – Thanks Joe.”
Karen (Easter Walking Holiday 2018)

 

“Good, challenging walks on sometimes rough, slippery / snowy paths. Good pub meals on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Lovely group of people, which included four I have met before. All co-ordinated by the efficient Joe. I will certainly go on another Country Adventures holiday.”
David (Easter Walking Holiday 2018)

 

“My first time walking with a group. A lovely weekend, would certainly recommend it. Joe is very helpful and professional and a very nice group of people.”

“Fabulous weekend, Two days of challenging and informative walks, with spectacular scenery. Can’t wait for my next with adventure with Country Adventures.”
Rob (Coledale Horseshoe walking weekend, September 2017)

 

“One of the best kept secrets of the travel industry, Joe delivers challenging and informative walks structured safely with always an eye on the stragglers or a map. Which just leaves you to manage yourself, enjoy the spectacular scenery on offer and swap layers periodically. Keep up the great work Joe and thanks for 10 years of great walking experiences.”
Rohan (Borrowdale Walking Holiday, August 2017)

 

“Fabulous weekend, Joe had thought of everything which meant we could just relax and enjoy the brilliant walking routes and superb scenery. Great accommodation at YHA Borrowdale with walks from the door straight onto the fells, excellent. Thanks Joe.”
Alison (Borrowdale Walking Holiday, August 2017)

 

“Fantastic weekend spent with Joe. Three superb walks in the Borrowdale Valley. Trekking in Glaramara, Robinson, Dale Head and Watlendath on the third day. Never a dull moment and really good company thrown in. Looking forward to another weekend with Country Adventures.”
Sue (Borrowdale Walking Holiday, August 2017)

 

“Joe, you smashed it as ever!! Beautiful location, excellent accommodation, perfect itinerary and great company. Thanks again & looking forward to my next country adventure 🙂.”
Julie (Borrowdale Walking Holiday, August 2017)

 

“What’s not to like?! Comfortable accommodation at YHA Borrowdale in beautiful surroundings. Joe is a friendly and knowledgeable Leader who organises everything. So you just put your feet up … boots on and walk. Even the weather was good. I had a lovely time.”
Karen (Borrowdale Walking Holiday, August 2017)

 

“Enjoyed the day despite the wet weather… Joe was a confident leader/ guide going at a pace that was easily manageable and guiding us over tricky slippery craggy bits. I would definitely go on another one of Joe’s trips.”
Rani (Scafell Pike Mountain Walk, July 2017)

 

A fabulous weekend in Llangollen, excellent and varied walks devised by tour leader Joe. Great fun, nothing too much trouble and Joe even arranged great weather for us too! Next trip already booked and looking forward to it. Thanks for a great weekend.”
Alison & Rohan (Llangollen Walking Weekend, April 2017)

Helen (Llangollen Walking Weekend, April 2017)

 

“A wonderful Easter weekend walking with a fab group of people. Joe combined his very professional and experienced approach with humour and personal care. We were so well looked after and taken on interesting and varied walks in the Lake District. This was my third walking holiday with Country Adventures and can’t wait to book on another trip.”
Ken (Easter Walking Holiday, April 2017)

 

“Excellent holiday. What a lovely hostel in a perfect setting with comfortable rooms, good food and Black Sheep beer!  I found the walking tough at times but the views and the company made it all worthwhile. And I can say I got to the top of the third highest mountain in England!  Roll on the next Country Adventures holiday!”
David (Easter Walking Holiday, April 2017)

 

“Thank you for yesterday, the Coniston Old Man was a walk that we would not have attempted on our own. We throughly enjoyed the day, and thought that your guidance and motivation was of the highest level. We would highly recommend anyone to use Country Adventures, and look forward to our next walking adventure with you.”
John & Vanessa (Coniston Old Man Day Walk, March 2017)

Karen (Two Shires Walking Weekend February 2017)

 

“The third time with Joe. A fabulous walking weekend in very safe conditions contributed by Joe’s kindly and comprehensive guidance. Unforgettable and will join Country Adventure again.”
Wenhao (Two Shires Walking Weekend February 2017)

 

“Wherever you go with Country Adventures, be it the Lake District, Snowdonia, or Yorkshire, you can be sure that the walks will show you the best of the local area. They’ve been well researched by Joe who knows what he’s doing. The reason I keep coming back is that, for those who don’t have ready access to walking companions, Country Adventures is like a ready-made group of friends. It’s great to meet people from such a variety of backgrounds and enjoy amazing scenery at the same time.”
Alison (Twixmas Walking Weekend 2016)

 

“Just got home from the 2016 Twixmas walking break at Llangollen Whitewaters Hotel and feeling very satisfied with some challenging walks in good company. Very good hotel accommodation, good food, exercise and a few beers made for a perfect long weekend break. The weather was stunning too which gave excellent views from the hill tops.
The thing that sets Country Adventures apart is the man, Joe, himself. His jovial personality and easy going chat makes for a great group dynamic and an enjoyable holiday.
All walks are properly organised with safety in mind. Bag meals supplied, evening socials, camaraderie with no pressure. 5 stars because I can’t think of anything at fault with this trip. Looking forward to the next adventure.”

Many thanks for a wonderful time. You will definitely see me again”
