Our New events system for summer 2008!

Hi there, firstly the group hiking events every month are now over with and secondly we are changing the events system in May to improve our clients' technical abilities. Instead of just being led around the mountains by one of our guides we're trying to encourage clients to have the confidence to do it for themselves; so we're now encouraging everyone to do a three part training excersise in mountain navigation over the next year or two. The first part is a 2 day beginners course in mountain navigation covering the basics of mountain navigation, the second is a 2 day improvers course which goes into more detail, followed by a 2 day advanced course including night navigation and wild camping. In between each course the client is encouraged to go out and practice their newly found skills on the hill. The amount of time a client takes between courses is up to them, but we advise at least a month. You don't have to book the whole three part training excersise at once, just book one at a time.

If you need any more info on these courses email your queery to:
