North Lakes Traverse by JanVA, 2 Sep 2022

Careless adventures. Just breathe. And enjoy.

We did the Lake District Northern Traverse walk this August. It was my third Lake District holiday and this walk still managed to surprise me. It offered plenty of extra opportunities for more challenging walks and it surprised me with even more stunning sceneries. You walk at your own pace and without any worries, because your luggage is being taken care of and your next stop will be very welcoming as always. I really enjoy travelling with ...

I really enjoy travelling with Mickledore because they work with local communities.

Rating for tour operator:

I think it was my eighth holiday with Mickledore and again, they did an excellent job. You pick a route out of a wide range of walks, varied by region, interest and difficulty. You get always proper B&B's and a very reliable service. They work with local communities which makes you always feel very welcomed when you arrive. The travel information is very complete and clear. They even try to personalise your trip if possible.

Tailored to a 'T'.

Mickledore provide the complete package. From initially suggesting the walk to suit my ability, to changing my gps from longtitude/latitude to grid reference on the morning I was leaving. Phewwwwww!

Off the beaten track!

5 days self guided walking in the beautiful Lake District, using pre-marked OS maps and good instructions provided by Mickledore Travel. All 5 hotels & Bed & Breakfasts had been pre-booked (and chosen) by Mickledore, and our accommodation was all en-suite and extremely comfortable, with packed lunches provided each day. We left our car at our first hotel, & Mickledore provided a pre-booked taxi to take us to collect it on the final day...

We left our car at our first hotel, & Mickledore provided a pre-booked taxi to take us to collect it on the final day. The routes were well marked, and we found the gradients and length of walks to be what we expect for a ‘moderate’ 3 Boot walk. What we didn’t anticipate was to be walking through such spectacular scenery, it really was a wonderful holiday.

Rating for tour operator:

Very friendly and efficient, updated our route when a bridge was closed unexpectedly, and made sure a hard copy was delivered to us at our hotel. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, and have already sent the company link to several friends.

Remembering schooldays in the Lakes

Our circular walk in the Lake District led us to Pooley Bridge where we were able to visit the site of my wife's old school more than 55 years ago! The weather lived up to its reputation of being changeable but the scenery was superb.

Thank you for your feedback and how wonderful to come back after 55 years and visit the site of the school. I'm pleased to hear that our service was excellent and I'm sorry this didn't extend to the weather on this occasion! I hope you will be back soon- we will be happy to organise a trip for you again.
