Wow, what a truly amazing birthday experience you gave Theo. l can’t think of a more exciting way for nine 11 year old to engage with the great outdoors". Kate Cinnamond
I have worked with Pete or over 6 years now and have found him to be nothing but professional and pleasent to deal with and would recommend his business to anyone.Darren Flanagan, Reach New Media
Hello Both, What a wonderful day you gave us. The teaching of the subject was exemplary and very patiently and kindly given. I must admit to looking forward to the visit with some trepidation but was soon put at ease by the welcome and greeting you gave us. I learnt an awful lot and picked up some very useful tips that I assure you I will pass on to Adam  and use myself.The hosting was a joy with coffee, very tasty soup with fresh bread in wonderful surroundings and excellent conversation, what a team you make you can be very proud of your achievements in running a very professional business. Don’t forget to keep a diary there is a book to be written in the future.
