"Did this course - a thoroughly enjoyable weekend in a beautiful part of the country - achieve its aim? Did we return to work on Monday with our cares eased and our tension released? We were in no doubt - because we were absolutely knackered."  

THE INDEPENDENT

"Thanks for stretching our minds and our legs."

U3A

"Ultimately, it must have been the buzz, and the pride and achievement in contributing something lasting to the landscape with your bare hands that motivates dry-stone wallers."

RAMBLING TODAY

"The weekend was both an instructive and relaxing break, the likes of which I haven't experienced for years."  

A WALLER

"Our mentor, Alex, was knowledgeable, charming and patient, explaining everything with an enthusiasm which was infectious whilst she nursed us over tricky rock-strewn terrain or boggy-bits."

LYNN LEAHY

"All or our group wants to say that through Alex, the course director, we gained a deep insight into the structure and beauty of this spectacular part of the country."
