A WEEK IN JORDAN

A cracking short trip, lots to do, lots to see, great variety. This really exceeded expectations

Most Inspirational Moment

Petra is fantastic - great two days, be prepared to walk alot to see all it has to offer.The night sky in Wadi Rum was stunning, in fact the whole Wadi Rum part was fantastic

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khalid was very good, efficient, always there when needed and made the trip easy.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Suitable for all sorts, we had a mixed age group that got along very well. A headtorch for Wadi Rum is useful.

KILIMANJARO CLIMB - RONGAI ROUTE

A brilliant trip with a great bunch of people.

Most Inspirational Moment

The midnight start of the summit day with the heart pounding and adrenaline flowing. I would say the summit photo but I was so knackered by then I can hardly remember it!

Thoughts on Group Leader

An excellent guide and a great guy to chat to. Very knowledgable, very calm and a good laugh

CROATIA: ISLANDS & MOUNTAINS

The trip was a fairly relaxed yet thorough exploration of Croatian mountains along with a visit to its coastline. Its a well balanced trip that won’t leave you needing extra sleep but will still let you get in some good walks and great scenery. We had two elderly people with us who were able to enjoy the more casual routes when the group decided to go for more vast inclines

Most Inspirational Moment

Camping overnight in the Velabit National Park. It was in the heart of the Croatian mountains but we were high enough so that we could see the coastline. The group really got to know each other and the scenery was fantastic. The weather was great and it was a really special experienc to be able to sleep up in the heart of the mountains. Lodging was comfortable and warm, I preferred it to the hotels on the shore!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was enthusiastic and caring and had a lot of knowledge of the local area. A great guide

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is a fairly standard walking trip, nothing special you need to consider or take.

FINNISH WILDERNESS WEEK

Stunning scenery, friendly staff and varied/fun activities

Most Inspirational Moment

Learning to Cross-country ski - something I've wanted to do for a while.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hanna was amazing - organising almost everything,keeping the group together, whilst having a laugh with us all.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take some Marshmallows for toasting on the many open fires!If you have your own ski gloves - take them.The ice climbing was really hard, but don't be discouraged if you don't make it to the top (I didn't). I've perviusly ice climbed on glacier ice (heavily compacted snow not frozen water) and made 4 climbs in a few hours.

EVEREST BASE CAMP

great people. great trek. great guides.

KILIMANJARO CLIMB - LEMOSHO ROUTE

Brilliant experience. It will no doubt end up being the best and worst thing you’ve ever done.

Most Inspirational Moment

Turning the corner on day 2 and seeing Kibo covered in snow basking in the African sunshine. Overall it's a far more beautiful trek than I expected and the summit itself was breathtaking - literally!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Simon was very organised and experiences having climbed Kilimanjaro over 200 times. He had lots of very good advice for us and made sure we were well taken care of. He was also keen to make sure we gave them feedback to ensure that the trip was going as well as possible.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure and go out of the tent occassionally at night! It's not tempting but the starlight views at midnight and dawn (around 6am) are breathtaking. Take more wet wipes than you think you need. Also Aquaphor cream is great for sunburn, windburn, chapped lips, and very painful runny noses which you will probably get on summit day! For night visits outside it's good to pack essentials into the pocket of your down jacket (wipes, headtorch etc) so you can just grab it and go. Sheepskin boots are really comfortable after a day's walking and always warm - even in the higher camps. Take a sigg or similar to use as a hot water bottle (but check they've purified the water so you can drink it when it cools down)And if you have them it's worth taking a pair of goretex socks in case you do end up with more rain than you expect (umbrella is also handy as the rain just pours down)

TRAILS OF VIETNAM

A great way to see Vietnam, with a little activity thrown in.  Vietnam had it all with history, culture, friendly people and amazing food too!

Most Inspirational Moment

Kayaking in Halong bay was amazing - tranquil waters with incredible island scenery and the sun setting, and seeign the moneys on the cliff above

Thoughts on Group Leader

Thuy was great.  He was attentive to the needs of the individual group members sorting out little issues when they arose.  He was passionate about the history of his country and this showed.  He made sure we had fun on new year's eve and it was agreat night out, and the group stuck together til 2am.  He also got us singing karaoke on our halong bay cruise.

Advice for Potential Travellers

leave space in your suitcase to bring stuff home.  I had a suit had in hoi-an which is lovely and i'm pleased with - for £200, also lots of opportunity to buy paintings and embroidery, and with all the amazing foods we tried most people wanted to take home something, even if it was coconut toffee or banana chips or fish sauce.The internal flights officially limit to 20kg but in reality don't really get too stressed if you are at 23 or 24kg

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING: DOBBIACO

A really great way to spend the week after Christmas, totally invigorating and great to be outside up in the mountains every day.

Most Inspirational Moment

Rather than one moment, it was simply great fun to learn something new and not have to worry about a thing. The biggest decision of the day was normally what flavour ice cream to have in the ice cream parlour across the road from the hotel where we gathered after a day of skiing.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Eric and Heather were exceptional. Their tuition skills were first class, individual attention was give to all and they managed to keep a range of abilities interested and challenged. Their knowledge and passion for x country skiing was infectious. They were also good fun to spend time with at dinner etc.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The hotel itself is very warm, so bring light clothing. Not a huge amount going on in the evening so if you're looking for some big après ski moments, Dobbiacco may not the place for you. However, if you want a variety of places to ski with some spectacular scenery then give it go!

KILIMANJARO CLIMB - LEMOSHO ROUTE

Fantastic trip, wonderful experience, highly recommend. Guides, Porters and stomach engineer (aka, chef) all did an excellent job. Trekking is not particularly arduous although summit day is more demanding given A) you ascend overnight, (B) the cold and C) the lack of Oxygen at that altitude.If you have a reasonable level of fitness then, all things being equal,  you should manage to make the summit.While it can be warm during the day it can get cold at night. We woke several mornings to frost on the ground so take warm clothes with you and a good sleeping bag, either your own or a hired one.

Most Inspirational Moment

Watching the sun rise over Africa from Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa, was magical. Well worth the overnight hike. Oh, and having my photo taken at the summit to prove I made it!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Simon from the African Walking Company, was superb. He was organised, approachable, calm, patient, enthusiastic, encouraging and had excellent English. He led his team of porters and guides very well. A true leader.

Advice for Potential Travellers

You might want to consider taking Diamax to help combat the possibility of altitude sickness.The fitter you are, the easier it will be and the more you'll enjoy it. Try doing some hill walking in the Highlands, the Lakes or Snowdon before going. It will help build up your fitness levels.Take warm clothing. While it is warm during the day it can get cold at night. We woke up to frost on several mornings. The ascent to the summit is done overnight, that does get cold. I'd recommend thermals for legs and upper body. In addition I'd suggest you have another 3-4 layers of warm clothing. On top of my thermal vest I had another vest, a warm shirt and a windbreaker then my jacket. Gloves, a balaclava and a hat were also used. On top of my thermal longjohns I had lined trousers designed for wearing in the Scottish winter. That kept me warm. You'll be sleeping in tents so take a torch and a head torch. You'll need a head torch for the overnight climb to the summit. Make sure you take, or hire, a warm sleeping bag and good quality ground mat. The tents can get cold. Take cash in US dollars. Moivaro Lodge, where we stayed before and after the climb, don't accept Sterling but do take US Dollars as well as Tanzanian Shillings. Take your US dollars in small denomination notes. Tips for the guides and porters are paid in US Dollars. Most shops, street traders etc accept US Dollars.If you leave getting your visa until you arrive in Tanzania be prepared for delays. Try and be one of the first off the plane; first come first served. It's all a bit chaotic but they eventually get there.  

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING: DOBBIACO

A wonderful week ; excellent snow conditions and great weather . The hotel was up to its usual high standard to which I have been accustomed for about 10 times now !

Most Inspirational Moment

The descent on the old military road ; also emerging from the artificially-lit natural tunnel on the Cortina run into glorious sunshine !

Thoughts on Group Leader

Albert , whom I have known over many years and regard as a friend , organised our trip in his usual quietly efficient yet relaxed manner . He is great company and was most helpful to each member 's needs , ensuring that everyone enjoyed the holiday to the best of their ability . Good practical technical advice on the loipe was kindly offered when required .

Advice for Potential Travellers

Cross-country skiing is a wonderful winter activity and Dobbiaco is a splendid centre for participating at any grade .
