Summer Mountaincraft
Instruction on navigation, route planning, expedition skills and emergency
ropework will give you the confidence to explore new areas off the beaten
track. The hills in Scotland are bigger than those in Wales and the Lake
District and endure some wild weather so fitness and good equipment are
essential to enjoy the hills at their best.
For personal guiding on Munro's (Scotland's 3000' hills) by the day, two day navigation or ML refresher courses, or five day summer mountaincraft courses please use the table below for prices. A group of 4 to 6 is ideal for hillwalking.
