Winter Skills & Winter Mountaineering in the Cairngorms

22nd December 2017

It's been a great week with loads of teams out on winter skills and winter mountaineering courses. 

The week started of cold and wintry but slowed warmed throughout the week. Although lots of snow was lost, cool nights kept what snow remained firm and good for our teams to do their stuff on.

Rory and pals finished their fifth day of a private winter skills course today with a mountaineering journey over to Loch Avon. 

It's looking cold and unsettled over the festive period which will bring conditions back.

Here are a few snaps of the last few days.

The weekend was absolutely fantastic! I had such a great time. I learned so much! Laurie asked us all at the very start, what we hoped to achieve from the weekend and he absolutely made sure they were met. I've already been highly recommending the course to friends! Coming to these guys for this course was super easy too, they are very accommodating (thanks again for picking up my boots!). I will definitely book onto something else in the future!
