Most trails are now open for adventure. πŸ‘Thanks to Maureen & Dylan for the great shots. πŸ“· #HillwalkTours #Photography #Hiking

Donate to the RNLI and help save lives at sea Your donations really make a difference. We depend on your generosity to educate people to stay safe and prevent tragedies on and offshore. Donate here.

πŸ›Ÿ Hillwalk Tours donated €1,000 in February to The RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution), a charity that saves lives 365 days a year at sea around the coasts of the UK & Ireland. A very worthy recipient, please support them if you can.

Heather & Jason pose by a Cornish mine engine on the πŸ₯Ύ South West Coast Path. Miners believed spirits called Knockers (Tommyknockers in USA) lived below ground. To appease them & ensure a safe work shift, they'd leave the last bite of their Cornish pasty as an offering. #Spooky #Halloween #Cornwall
