"This was one of the best holidays I have had, wonderful walks superbly organised and managed by Paul and Fi, and such good humour and company in the group, so many good conversations and just the happy feeling of being together... and so, from the mountains, we returned refreshed as Dr Johnson remarked in his A Journey to the Western Isles" — R.W. - Winter Walking 2011
