"A thoroughly enjoyable day, and one that was enjoyed by everyone. All of the objectives were met. I felt that as the day wore on we started to really gel as a team, and actually helping each other to ensure we all achieved as a team. The fun element was certainly there right throughout the day, and into the evening. The whole experience was fantastic. The Inn recommendation was superb, and helped finish off an excellent adventure. I also thought the knowledge you shared with us, not only in the navigational skills but also about the area, flora, fauna etc was tremendous. A big thank you to you both, we will definitely be back for another adventure into the dales."

Barclays Capital, team building day, Yorkshire Dales, June 2010

"I really thought the weekend was good – I think you have a winning formula. And it was lovely the way we all just felt you wanted to share your experience with us and set us on the path to happy and safe navigating."

Navigation Skills course (NNAS Silver award), Kettlewell, April 2010

"We really enjoyed your leadership and input and I think it’s done the world of good for the team. One person in particular seems to have been really spurred on by it. It did the job of team-building and motivating but also and very importantly helped people to understand each other better."

University of Birmingham (Entrepreneurship and Innovation), Team Building day, Peak District, January 2010

"What did I enjoy? Talking with team members with no distractions, and the spectacular scenery. Snow at the top of Simon's Seat was a bonus! Well organised, good mix of terrain, challenges and stories! Would recommend Mark and Richard."

UNIVAR Europe, team activity day, Yorkshire Dales, December 2009

"A very professionally run course, which more than met the objectives. Due to the teaching techniques the topics were absorbed easily and remembered. A thoroughly enjoyable course."

J. Egmore, Navigation Skills course, October 2009

"You did a brilliant job! We were most impressed with the way you easily cared for our entire group of high-end clients. Your hikes were interesting, beautiful, informative and had just the right amount of sweat to make them challenging but easily do-able. Also, your recommendations for places to stay, eat and visit were spot on. We will definitely look to engaging your services next year when we bring a new group to the Yorkshire Dales. Congratulations on a job well accomplished!"

Stephen Leckie, CEO - Gold Medal Plates, Canada

"The route was just right. Challenging in parts but good to feel the burn! Thanks, had a great day. Will recommend to others."

Sanofi Aventis

"It was a fantastic day all round, very informative which will come in incredibly useful on future walks and help keep us all safe and not misplaced (we have eradicated the word lost from our vocabulary except if we are talking about a certain TV show). The skills you teach are really good and we were only worried as to how we had done so many walks without having them previously! Thanks on behalf of the whole group for a great day out which was excellent value for money!"

Sarah Byrne (Mosaic Events), navigation skills day, April 2009

"A wonderful day out, thoroughly enjoyed the day"

University of York (Alumni Relations)

"It was interesting to see how people interacted, how conversations moved physically and literally, and how members of the group were inpsired by their experience." The Business Desk

"Thanks for the great walk that you took us on the 2nd July. It was great to have such good weather in what has been a dismal summer and the views and location were tremendous. I am pleased to say that the day was enjoyed by all and the comments that I have had back have been tremendously positive. Indeed, one of my Operations Managers stated that it was the best thing that we, as a company, have done. Thanks once again."

Paul Mercer, Tied Trade Director, Hydes Brewery

"Hi Mark, thanks again for a fabulous tour of the Yorkshire Dales. I continue to be preoccupied with my memories of sunny villages, green fields and that primal feeling of fulfillment that comes with a cold pint and the pubs welcoming hearth. If you ever find yourself in this corner of the world, please be sure to give a shout we pour a fine pint here in Vermont too."

Cheers, Bonnie Macpherson, USA
