Hello Tomzdad, I went on a discovery weekend about 2 weeks ago, I found it a great ice breaker. You are made to feel very welcome and everyones in the same boat. it was good to meet other people an have a laugh. We moved to different tables after every course (if you happened to pick out a different table number than the one you were sat at), which meant you got to meet and talk to someone new. I found it helped me to decide if I could go on holiday on my own and came home and booked to go walking in Germany and I am really looking forward to it. I say do it.
