Wild Knoydart
Grade 2, Grade 3
9th May 2010 - 14th May 2010
£804.00 per person
The remote and rugged Knoydart peninsular is a very special place. For many, it epitomises west highland beauty; mountain after mountain plunging to deep dark serpentine lochs. Accessible only by boat (our mode) or long walk-ins, its one of the most isolated parts of mainland Britain. Its reputation is thoroughly deserved.
Lairig Ghru Challenge Weekend

£259.00 per person
Walk Britain’s most spectacular mountain pass. The 18 mile route of past drovers, thieves and soldiers cuts right through the heart of the high Cairngorm splendour. From the high point its sides rise sheer for another 1500 ft to 4 of the 5 highest peaks in Britain - awesome scenery and a worthy challenge.
Highland Extravaganza
Grade 2
31st May 2010 - 4th June 2010
£565.00 per person
From Loch Ness in the north to Atholl in the south; the Cairngorms in the east to Lochaber in the west, this holiday samples the Highlands’ very varied mountain-scapes and is an ideal introduction to mountain walking in Scotland.
Classic Torridon
Grade 3
6th June 2010 - 11th June 2010
£754.00 per person
Torridon’s reputation is wholly justified. A landscape of towering buttresses and a primeval feel. For many this magnificent area provides the finest mountain days anywhere. I need say little more, other than this holiday requires a good head for heights.
Midsummer Cairngorm Backpacking
Grade 3
27th June 2010 - 29th June 2010
£372.00 per person
If you’re looking to totally immerse yourself in the mountains, then there’s no better way than backpacking. If you want the perfect place to do it, then look no further than the Cairngorms. We avoid the repeated long ups and downs of other ranges. Once the gently undulating ‘plateau’ edge is gained, we’re left to relax & enjoy - an ideal introduction to backpacking.

Besides the Black Cuillin’s scary ridges, the Isle of Skye offers the hill-walker some tremendous days out.

Both these areas offer the mountain walker some challenging walking with views than can rival any across Scotland.
