A small pack on your back, lightly skipping over the rocks and roots. Up ahead a vista is opening, showcasing biblical peaks that tower over tranquil tarns.

You pause for a picture and as you take a refreshing sip from the gurgling stream, a gaggle of eager trail enthusiasts, your new friends, join you. Together you point excitedly at the view before setting off together, dancing. Where else would you want to be...?

I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful trip last week. I am, and always will be so grateful for the time and effort you all took to ensure we had a tremendous time. And we did!! I think we all came away with a real sense of wonder at the insane beauty of the landscapes you showed us but that certainly wasn’t the extent of it. Your belief in our abilities and support through tough times out there has given me so much confidence to search for bigger, wilder experiences and have a crack at them!
Hanny, your generosity with your time and sharing your knowledge is second to none! The way you spoke about finding what makes your toes tingle has changed the way I will approach not only training, but the way I choose to spend my days. Such small conversations which will have a huge flow on effect for me, my family and so on! I can’t even fathom how important it is for my kids to have a braver, more courageous mum and the belief you had in us last week will play a massive role in that!
A million thank yous!! - Kate
I am so grateful to have experienced such an amazing holiday journey with you all. The tour continued to rekindle my love of running and being in nature and the outdoors. I learned so much, had so much fun, and had plenty of time for restful reflection and contemplation in such a beautiful landscape (OMG so beautiful every moment I looked around!). The energy, comfort, support and joy that we all shared as a group was amazing and I am so grateful for the work you all put in to help facilitate this experience. I can’t wait to join you again in 2020. - Gavan
What a spectacular five days we had running, jogging, climbing and sliding in the cradle mountains. Hanny, Ash and Linda certainly did a terrific job guiding us through the maze of trails as well as taking us off the beaten track to show us 1000 year old trees and spectacular views and waterfalls. Great company and good food kept us all wishing it would never end. Great balance of physical exertion and easy efforts with entertaining down time as well. Keen to do another trip - Judy
Hanny and Graham and the “Find Your Feet” team are more than trail running guides. They are passionate about the natural environment; they love Tasmania and delight is showcasing it to others. Our Tassie trip was the perfect mix of running, exploring, learning about this beautiful State intermingled with good food, great conversation and good old fashioned R&R. Hanny and the guides catered for all running abilities and being a “plodder” was completely okay. I had a great time and will definitely return for more epic adventures with “Find your Feet” - Julia

This tour provided a good balance of adventure and downtime. The crew were well organised and the group of likeminded runners were great company, many new friendships made. Lake St Clair and Cradle Mountain were two fantastic destinations, with Mt Rufus and Dove Lake (in snow) my highlights. Also, our Lake St Clair afternoon picnic (in sunshine!) was a lot of fun – plenty laughs (ask Hanny) - Jane
