"Excellent,
Surpassed my expectations... was fantastic"
takes
people on a fascinating journey of discovery, bringing to life the geology,
wildlife, archaeology, history, heritage, conservation and potential
of the landscape around them. He helps people to reconnect with the
natural world in a fascinating and inspiring journey. For teams and
groups, this can also give people the time, space and environment to
connect with each other without pressure in a totally natural and organic
environment. Adrian invites you to 'Walk the Mendips' with him, for
an unforgettable experience.
More
than just a guided walk, it gives people the opportunity to reconnect
to the landscape in a way that is meaningful to them. For some, it's
the archaeology and history, the awe-inspiring monuments like hill forts,
barrows and standing stones. Some people connect with the human elements
such as the marks left on the landscape by our ancestors' struggle to
survive, the evidence of changing cultures over time, or by current
farming and conservation activities. Others will be inspired simply
by taking a fresh, and more informed, look at the beauty of nature and
diversity of wildlife against a backdrop of stunning views.
