What Does This Guided Walk Involve?

Journeys in the glens and to the summits of munros. You will be led on a walk of your choosing by an experienced instructor. 

When you book, we’ll chat through your goals and shape the day to match, making sure you know exactly what to expect.

We’ll normally meet in a car park, check our kit, and talk through the plan before heading off. Walks range in difficulty and length from quick summits to full day experiences.

You can let us lead the whole walk, or use this as an opportunity to learn about navigation, route planning and become confident in your own skill set.
