“I “discovered” WalkDeeside Ltd a couple of years ago when I wanted to do some hiking in Scotland and they were recommended to me by mutual friends. I wish I had found them sooner! I have a non-hiking partner so it is important to me to be able to walk in a group. I live half the year in South Africa and half in London. I belong to two hiking groups in Cape Town and also walk in Europe. So I was thrilled to discover WalkDeeside and have been on several hikes with Alan, one on my own in the Highlands and a superb four day hike on the Knoydart Peninsula. I will definitely be going with WalkDeeside again in 2011. I would thoroughly recommend WalkDeeside to hikers of any standard – their “boot” system is excellent and pretty much sums up how arduous or not the hike will be. Alan will make your hiking experience very personal, safe, challenging and fun!”
