Fantastic walk today with Simon, I’ve had a rough time lately, my anxiety has been reaching new levels and I struggle to switch off but this was extremely relaxing and helped me relax, I found the first few hours of peace I can remember for a long time.

from previous walks & experiences

"A great walk along part of the north downs today for one of Simon Pollard 5 Senses walks. Good fun, amazing views and I learnt a thing or two. If you are looking to reconnect with nature, or to just enjoy some downtime away from technology I highly recommend going on one of his walks. "

"Thank you Simon Pollard and Gillian Pollard for the fantastic walk today, I learnt so much about our beautiful countryside and wild life, seeing the Buzzards in flight was amazing and sitting in the woods in silence listening to the woodlands heart was something else can’t thank you enough, Highly recommend Simple Life walks 💖"

"I went on the most magical day's walk on the North Downs, near the Lost Village of Dode, led by Simon Pollard of Simple Life. Simon is so interesting and knowledgeable about the trees, plants and area. It is really worth checking out his walks - and he will tailor make them for you too! So I wasnt sure I could manage it - but i took it easy and it was fine!! Thank you"

"I recently went on a 5 senses walk with Simon through Deal in Kent to get back to nature and reconnect with myself, I can honestly say it was an amazing experience, imagine not wanting to look at my phone for several hours. There were lots of high points but my favourite moment was sitting under Deal pier and listening to the sound of the waves and the wind. Thank you Simon, it was a really awesome experience."

"Guided by Simon, who was both engaging & knowledgeable, we were encouraged to explore our immediate environment, listen to the wonderful bird songs & examine all measure of creepy crawlers as they busied themselves in the undergrowth. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable time & if that wasn’t enough, we were treated to a truly luxurious packed lunch, prepared by Sunrise Sunset Foods & included within the price of the walk. We would absolutely recommend Simon & his walks & are looking forward to our next adventure with him. "

John
"I have thought about, and spoken about last Sunday's 5 Senses walk experience every day this week. It really has helped me to take a moment during the business of the day to pause, listen, breathe, reflect, remember and stay grounded in that moment whilst I decompress, process and fathom out that day's activities....and flippin-eck its worked a treat🙏 Seriously, to anyone who is thinking about joining Simon on one of his walks...DO IT, JUST DO IT - JFDI 😉"
