Abigail’s Trails

Have had 2 great walks. Lovely company and really well organised. Lots of laughs and it’s lovely to go to places you don’t know. Great value too.

Took my boys on one of Abigail's Trails this morning, it was a lovely walk. Took it at our pace, Abi gave lots of local knowledge and even had a snack break! We all thoroughly enjoyed it, would definitely recommend! 😊

Great leader & knowledgeable about history on the walk. Adapted to changing situation on our walk.Very professional & lovely lady. Will definitely do again!

What a lovely relaxing way to spend a morning. Abigail is so lovely with the kids and let's them explore and have loads of fun.

We love going to Snail Trails with Abigail. My son really enjoys it and has a fantastic time, every time. Keep up the good work.

Had our 1st outing today with Abigails Trails, we had a lovely time. The Trail description was perfect. In this case it said suitable for a 4yr old and my 4yr old nephew managed just fine. Abigail was really friendly and welcoming. Thank you, we will be seeing you again soon.

My friend and I recently attended a walk with Abigail’s Trails which included Navigation, map reading and compass instruction. We had a great afternoon and couldn’t recommend Abi highly enough. She is brilliant - knowledgeable, professional as well as friendly and down to earth. If you want to get out and explore more but lack confidence to do this solo, check out Abigail’s Trails.

I recently attended a great walk with Abigails Trails which included map and compass instruction . (Navigation and map reading) I can’t recommend Abigail highly enough. She was fabulous, very friendly but professional, aiming the course perfectly for my totally novice level. Clear instruction delivered in a clear and concise manner. I felt totally at ease and Abi’s approach made me feel completely comfortable asking questions and chatting along. I think it’s plain to pick up I not only loved it but came away full of enthusiasm to venture out more after learning throughout the walk and picking up information that will be valuable to me as I progress in my little adventures. Thank you so much Abigail’s Trails.

This week I had the pleasure of doing the 1:1 navigation course with Abi and it was fantastic! Before the course I would never have dreamed of setting off for a walk by myself, and my map reading and compass skills hadn't been put to use since year 9 Geography (MANY moons ago). Now I would feel confident in picking up my map and compass and heading out on a completely new walk. Like all new skills, I'm sure it will take some practice, but the course certainly gave me some solid foundations to build on. I would highly recommend this to anyone who would like to learn a new skill and feel more confident with navigation.

Wow, Abi’s snail trails are one of the highlights of our week. We love all the new adventures with her. Snack time followed by craft is always timed well around the children’s needs and abilities. She is a font of knowledge and we all feel utterly safe in her capable hands. Roll on this week’s educational, fun filled trip.

Educational, energetic and enthusiastic. What a super way to explore the Rossendale Valley. Cribden Hill and The Halo trekked with 30 children in tow. Not a single whinge or moan- I call that a huge success. The Year 6 staff and pupils at Haslingden Primary School would definitely recommend using Abigail’s Trails.

I'd 100% recommend Abigail's Trails. Every one I've been on (three and counting), has been fantastic. Lots of local knowledge, well led, supportive, puts everyone at ease, regardless of their ability. As a single walker, it's so nice to attend a walk where you feel accepted as part of the group from the second you arrive by Abi, when can I book the next one?

Absolutely brilliant for local walks. I have been on two with my 3 year old and 8 month old and we all enjoyed exploring somewhere familiar but with Abi's magical twists and observations.

7 weeks ago, feeling horribly unfit & desperately in need of something to get me out of the house I came across Abigail’s Nail the Trails, a 7 week course of walks designed to help with improving fitness. It was just what I was looking for!! Over the 7 weeks it has become so much than that!!! I hadn’t done much walking for some time so was worried at first that I would hold everyone up but we were all in the same boat. With Abi's gentle encouragement & support we all got through the walks together. With some amazing views, lovely routes every walk, even with their challenges were a pleasure. Abi was always there to guide us along the way, checking we were all ok & showed us so much patience & letting us take breathers when needed. 7 weeks on I like to think that my fitness has improved, not just my fitness but my mental health & I have also made some wonderful friends who I hope we will have lots more wonderful walks in the future. I would recommend Abigails Trails whatever your level of walking experience, she has plenty of different options that suit all. My son & I have a couple of walks booked with her in the next couple of weeks, hopefully now I will be able to keep up with him!!

I’m just about to complete the Nailing the Trails course and have loved every one of the weekly walks. There are also one off walks and they are clearly explained in terms of duration and difficulty. Abi is a very good leader. She lets the participants find their own pace and she gently encourages everyone. The walks on our course got gradually harder each week and we explored a different part of the beautiful Rossendale Valley area each time. I would thoroughly recommend walking with Abigails Trails. In fact I’ve just signed up to another 5 weeks, as have most if not all of the others on the block of walks we are about to complete this week! Friendships made, confidence gained and new places explored. Why would anyone not give it a try?!
