Me and my daughter are keen walkers so thought we’d try this organised walk. We both thought it was wonderful, the Lake District is so beautiful, everyone should see it. You don’t have to go abroad to see amazing natural wonders.

My friend from work is really into her walking and despite having a car she walks everywhere. She'd never done the Scafell Pike trail though so I thought it might be a nice way to spend a day. The weather stayed lovely up in the Lake District and the hiking wasn't anywhere near too hard for Sue, but I think I need to get a bit fitter before we go back!
