Llama trekking. I didn't
even know that llama trekking was a thing until recently. I went llama trekking
for my mam's birthday back in May and I would honestly recommend it to
anyone. (The first two pictured are alpacas but are still cute.)
The llamas are based in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire and were easy to
find as they emailed us directions. (We also did a practice run). You need to
book in advance and can choose a short or longer walk; our walk was 1.5 miles
which took about 2 hours. There were 3 of us in our group, we all got a llama each,
but another couple got a llama between them. This may have been a wise decision
as my llama was quite strong!
When we
arrived we went in to where the llamas are kept and, after introductions, we
were each assigned a llama based on our personalities. My llama was called
Gus. I think we were a good match as he wasn't as boisterous as the others,
although he did try and eat everything in sight!
During the
trek we stopped for photos but I managed to take some whilst we were walking
round. Gus even posed for a selfie with me! Overall, it was a fantastic
day out which made me love llamas even more. I will definitely be going back in
the future.
