We booked the Meander and Dander trip with Fiona and Ian … what an amazing trip. Fiona is shared her incredible knowledge on the history of the local area and specifically the River Bann as we travelled up the river including a guided tour of Mount Sandel… whilst Ian skippered their beautiful boat … and we even caught a glimpse of a couple of kingfishers! Thank you both for such a lovely morning, (the coffee and the cake were class …. !) Highly recommended …. we will be back
