  • Thoroughly enjoyable

    Having walked with Mick and his family for a few days when completing the GR10 many years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed catching up on his and Simon’s exploits to various parts of the world. It has a perfect mix of professionalism and amateurism - well at least in their escapades. Also recommend their Backpacks, Boots and Baguettes book - you can buy it for very little from a certain retailer - maybe it is time for an updated version.
