“After completing LLA training this weekend, I wanted to email to say a big thank you to yourself and Mike. Mike was encouraging, professional, full of useful tips and hints and facilitated us developing our skills. My confidence in leading a group and general walking knowledge have both developed over the two days and I would recommend you as a training provider with no hesitation.”
