I would like to express my thanks to you for the planning and organisation in getting us out and about on the Dublin/Wicklow mountains.  It has been a lot of fun and a great way to get some healthy exercise. I look forward to the next walk and to seeing some more of the beautiful […]

The hotel was charming and the choice of walks perfect. It was wonderful the way each walk was so different and built up gradually to the final impressive climb. I know that did not happen by accident and was impressed by, as most of us relaxed by the pool, you were reading up on the next day’s adventure[…]

How lucky are we hill walkers, to have David’s enthusiasm, good humour, expertise and inspirational encouragement to lead us through the most amazing Wicklow walks. His love of the hills is infectious.  His in-depth knowledge of the walks is so reassuring and one feels in safe hands at all times.  I loved his constant refrain that […]

I have been hill-walking regularly under David’s leadership for almost a year now, and I could not wish for a better leader.

He gives sound advice on equipment & clothing, which is tempered by […]

When you walk with David you get a great understanding of the surrounding environment and the […]

Not being a ‘hill walker’ I was intrigued when I first heard about the walks, but having completed nearly all of them I am ‘hooked’. It is a great way to exercise and socialise at the same time. I was impressed by the organisation, with nothing  left to chance.  Whether one is an amateur or […]

Thanks to David Crawford I have returned to recreational hill walking in the last year. It has proved to be an easy route to that feeling of health, fitness and bon-homie that makes us all feel good. David leads all of our walks which are organised with meticulous care and carefully chosen both to match […]

David Crawford’s obvious love for and enthusiasm about hill-walking in Ireland’s most beautiful locations is infectious. His in-depth knowledge of all hill walks, both well-trodden and those less well known, makes him an ideal guide and mentor. When the above is taken in tandem with David’s emphasis on safety and concern that even the least […]

Just a note to thank you for a most wonderful adventure to Mallorca. I am still enjoying the afterglow of the four days spent trekking. From before we left on Thursday 9th May to our return on the 14th, I was on a busy cosseted roller coaster. I was one of four new people to […]
