Summary:
It was so fun. The hike through the England countryside was amazing. Jamie and his lovely pooch made the trip. Jamie was so informative and spoke of all the historical events. I was very impressed on how safety was number 1. He would caution us on up coming parts of the trail to be aware of and was very attentive to all of us. A true professional !! I would suggest this trip to everyone that goes to England.

Summary:
My daughter and I planned our trip in the UK around this hike and I’m so glad we did! Jamie was a great hike guide! He was very knowledgeable and also paced the hike well to the abilities of everyone in the group. His dog Blisco was an added bonus! I highly recommend taking a hike with Jamie!!

Summary:
Jamie was absolutely incredible.. from the minute we looked around and started asking questions pre trip, he was helpful and approachable and tailored everything to the experience and fitness of the group. This was everyone's first time to the Lakes, and Jamie provided a tour that gave us a bit of everything.
Before we arrived he provided a list of things we should bring, where to meet, where to park etc.
The day could not have been more perfect.. the weather, the route, the cows wandering up to us to come have a drink from the lake.
Jamie walked us though the history of the area at every stage, the place names, the significance of people and place (I won't spoil it for you here), and the importance of the ecology.
We had a fly-by by the USAF F-15's, which if I would not have known better I could swear Jamie also arranged this :)
The walk was easy.. a couple of hills but nothing too taxing for anyone in our group.
Jamie was extremely accommodating and attentive throughout. He kept a quiet eye on the group, and suggested stops and water breaks as needed, and provided great photo opportunities - and of course cake stops!
At the end of the tour, Jamie recommended the Britannia pub for lunch, and we were not disappointed.
He also gave us a recommendation for dinner to celebrate our anniversary, and this was also incredible.
Above and beyond anything we could have dreamed of.
The final thing I shall say about Jamie is this. Jamie is a sole person business. He does this because it is a passion of his, and this is what shines through. I cannot recommend Jamie highly enough, and if you are considering a trip to the lakes, look no further, and do so in the knowledge that you are supporting a truly lovely guy.
