This was an amazing half day experience. From the moment we arrived at the beautiful setting we were made very welcome and were very well looked after. Our instructor Jamie was brilliant, his knowledge and ability to pass this on with such patience and enthusiasm is very inspiring. We had a really first class experience and I highly recommend it.
