“Since finding Walk Wild my wife and I have had some awesome adventures from learning new skills on the Peaks Weekend to finding new friends across the many Guided walks offered. Every adventure Ian offers is not only inspiring in connections made with nature but educational too. Ian's generosity with sharing his extensive knowledge of walks, survival techniques, nature and photography are amongst the many areas of expertise he has to offer. Any adventure with Walk Wild, whether going on my own or with friends has been a fab opportunity to meet so many interesting people of all spheres. You turn up as strangers and often leave with friends even after only a few hours! This is testament to the type of person Ian is as well as the culture of the company he has built.” - Victoria, Bedford
