Another wonderful weekend with them. Their trips are always with a small group and this allows you to really get to know your hiking/scrambling companions well but also means the group can agree easily any 'extras' wanted from the advertised trip. He knows Snowdonia (and just about every other good walking/scrambling/climbing spot in Britain) incredibly well and can facilitate whatever people want. Thanks again!

The five trips so far have been money well spent, to ride with confidence was just what I wanted. I will be booking more very soon.
Richard, E Biking Chilterns
I have no hesitation in recommending them for great organisation, attention to detail and brilliant cycling. The location is beautiful with easy access to the big cols, stunning scenery everywhere and even some flattish options.
Phil, TDF Pyrenees
Stunning route with everything from thunderstorms, snow-capped peaks to a heatwave. We were a mixed ability group. Sorry I was so slow going uphill. Just fabulous. It was epic
Duncan, TDF Pyrenees
Professional, knowledgeable and courteous service. Highly recommended.

Day 1 (usually Friday) is all about arriving in Fort William and getting you kitted out for the exciting weekend to come.
Once prepped you'll meet the rest of the gang, have a bite to eat, before hitting the hay so you're ready for a big day tomorrow (perhaps after a quick whiskey at the bar)
Day 2 is when you'll learn the skills needed to take on the mountains in winter time!
It's all about ice axes, crampons, mountain weather, and moving efficiently and safely through challenging environments. Proper adventure stuff!
The setting is sublime. Perched high on the mountain, you'll be moving across the snow with an epic view over the valley below.
After roughly 6 hours out and about, it's back to town for some grub.
Day 3 and its time to bust out the big guns!
You'll be working together as a team to tackle this beast. The climb is challenging enough to make it a real accomplishment when you get to the top, but very doable with lots of breaks to catch your breath, eat a Mars Bar or 5, and snap a few killer selfies.
The notorious CMD Arete could be in the cards but can get a little spicy, so can only be attempted in the right conditions.
After an honest day of hard graft on the mountain it's back to Fort William to celebrate.
