The nights are definitely drawing in and it is nearly time to switch the central heating on; winter is on its way. I think it will be a couple of months yet before the Lakes sees any snow but it's falling in Scotland already which has encouraged us to start thinking about our winter courses.
From 13th February to 21st March 2010 we will be based in the Cairngorms in Scotland running winter courses in the snow. February and March are usually the best months for snow in the Cairngorms and we have decided to move up north temporarily to make the most of it. So, if you do not want to stay inside for the next six months waiting for spring, come up and join us for a few days and find out just what winter has to offer. We can cater for any level: introductory winter walking courses if your boots have never touched snow, scrambling courses if you would like to try some classic ridges in winter conditions or winter climbing courses if you aspire to get up something a bit steeper.
We do not have any set dates for courses on our website because all of our winter courses will be tailored exactly to meet your needs. A winter day costs £180 and as usual this can be split between participants. If you want to come on a course but would like to share the costs then please get in touch because we might be able to match you up with some other like minded people.
Have a look at the winter page on our website and then get in touch by email (info@morethanmountains.co.uk) or telephone (07984410230) and let us know exactly what you would like to do.
