Highland Trails - Iceland

Knit and Ride Adventure

5 star rating   5 April 2024

Judy (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Lovely | I don’t think this holiday would be suitable for people who are inexperienced hacking over different ground. The terrain was uneven. I enjoyed every moment but I spend most of my time hacking.

How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?

I followed your advice on travelling with a small bag but as this was a single centre holiday I could have taken a larger bag which would have enabled me to purchase more knitting yarn to bring home.
You also advised taking towels which take up space in the bag. Towels were provided.
I took my own helmet. Good quality and well maintained helmets were available.
[Becky from In The Saddle replies: Thank you so much for your helpful feedback. This is the first time this holiday has run and so we will make sure that the recommended packing list is updated. We would always recommend riders take their own hard hats to ensure a good quality and fit.]


How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?
