Start of winter.

23rd November 2021

It's great to see fresh snow on the hills and a wintry forecast! We managed to get a day out today, going up the Fiachal Ridge and over Cairn Gorm. The light cloud lifted to give great views and blue skies, a real treat. It's always worth getting a few easy days out at the start of winter and to have a bit of a shake down. Good get the crampons on and feeling the crunch of the snow. Our courses are filling up very quickly this year but there are a few remaining places here and there. Please get in touch if you'd like to join us for some winter skills, winter mountaineering, winter climbing or ski touring training.

Winter courses

I would definitely recommend using them for navigation skills. I booked A1 day course. Communication with Dave before the course was good as well.. Dave or guide was very friendly and welcoming and made us feel at ease. Explaining what was going to happen in the day and asked us too what we would like to get out of the course. Dave was great at explaining and giving instruction and I actually surprised myself that I manahed to correctly follow them too. . When I'm ready to go in to the next level of navigation. Cairngorm Adventure Guides will be my first go to to find a course. A great day and I don't feel so useless at using a map and compass now. Woo hoo!
