We can tailor make day and multiday walks to your requirements. For example, we recently helped a client achieve a long held ambition to climb Suilven. Tailor made mountain days start at £160 (max 4 people) |
fitnessThe walks vary in length and steepness, so if you are not confident in your fitness then start with one of the shorter walks.
Hillwalking is a non-competitive sport, and we take plenty of stops to admire the view, take photographs and look at the plants and wildlife, and on rough ground we take time and care to ensure everyone is managing. We can adapt walks to your own personal needs, abilities and health concerns. Shown above is a little dog who was having some paw problems and needed a bit of respite on a walk |
group sizeWe work with a maximum group size of 4 on mountain walks, and 6 on low level walks. This allows us to give you the best walk experience
|
WeatherWe check weather forecasts in advance of every walk (obsessively!) and use our knowledge of the planned route to ensure we can follow it safely. If not, we will either suggest a safer alternative or cancel the walk. Usually rain and poor visibility don't stop us, and in fact give us some really great adventure days, but wind can be a real 'show stopper' -it's hard to make progress if you are being blown off your feet!

It enabled us to explore a new area with stunning scenery under the guidance of Alison. It's definitely enthused us to do more hill walking which we're very much looking forwards to." FM, April 2022 "Climbing Suilven had long been on my bucket list to do. Achieving this dream was made possible with Alison's expert support and encouragement. We had an amazing day on the mountain and even managed a swim in a mountain loch on our descent. A truly wonderful, unforgettable experience, thanks so much to Alison." MM, June 2021 |
