Transport

We do not provide transportation to and from mountain venues. You will need to provide your own transport. We are extremely aware of our carbon footprint therefore we encourage clients to car share as much as possible if convenient. Arrangements can be made on the Friday evening among course participants.

Venues

We use a variety of training venues around Scotland for our courses including the Ochils, Ben Lawers, Drummochter Pass, Cairngorms, and Glen Coe. The venue for your course will be decided on the Friday evening based on factors such as mountain weather and suitability for the group.
