Scottish Winter January 2017 Update
This season has seen a roller coaster of winter conditions from superb to Spring like. Over the past month we have had over 25 days out training people for the Greater Ranges, providing skill courses for the BMC, training a BBC Scotland filming team in Avalanche awareness for their trip to the Alps, Cotswold Staff Training and dog scrambling techniques as well as ascents of winter gullies and snowy ridges. Yes it has not been a perfect winter but we all have something to learn and we have had some stunning weather. As we move forward to February snow is forecast for the weekend and work continues as normal. Thank you to Alan Kimber, Dave Barker, Paul Lewis, Iain Murray, Spike Sellers and Nick Cannon Jones for guiding and instructing and to all the participants who have made the effort to travel North.

I would like to thank you again for a very enjoyable week and thank you for pushing me into that last day as it has given me the drive and understanding to push myself to better things and you were spot on with your judgment.

Just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic weekend, I learnt so much and more than anything hearing about what you have done and seeing your pictures has given me inspiration to get my own expedition sorted. I have already started googling what mountains there are in the Arctic circle.

Adele, I wanted to say thanks for your guiding on skye at the weekend. We all had a phenomenal time and will be returning again as soon as possible. Your guiding was relaxed and very professional we all felt very at ease all the time.
