Winter Walking/Mountaineering

Duration:	5 days + 1 rest day
Cost:	£250 per person
Min - Max No.	3 - 4

This course covers the same skills and techniques covered on the two day Winter Skills course but goes onto applying them on real winter mountaineering days. Munro summits and tops will be tackled by suitable routes with time taken to test the new skills learnt. There will also be more opportunities to look in depth at the skills required for winter navigation and types of emergency shelter systems.

For those who would like an overnight experience on the mountains there may be the chance to do a snow-holing trip. (Extra equipment will obviously be needed for this activity and a full list can be supplied, otherwise the equipment needed is the same as that for the Winter Skills course).

(Due to the availability of suitable conditions these last two courses may be based in a variety of venues such as Fort William or Aviemore etc, contact me for details).
