Probably need to update my contacts.
Helping you enjoy and get the most out of the hills since 1970. Hill Skills Tutor. I am also a DofE Supervisor and Assessor.
Over the years I have been fortunate to have accumulated many rich experiences in the mountains. From my earliest days of teaching skiing I realised what a great experience it is to pass on my knowledge.

A couple of Donalds on a warm day!
Queensberry and Earnscraig. Another empty quarter with one group of four seen all day.
Very dry so hardly a midge and, amazingly, no clegs!
Popped into Burleywhag bothy which was very tidy as all MBA bothies should be. Well done visitors.

Wandering in our local "empty quarter " today.
Tudhope - Cauldcleuch Head round. Chilly on top. Tempting distant views from Cheviot to the Solway.
Saw two people; one o the hill and another mowing grass at Billhope Cottage.

I can't take any credit for Ross's photographic skills but I'm sure being a Mountain Leader makes his journey easier.
After a few requests for prints, I’ve added the recent images that I’ve shared from Ben Nevis to the Store on my website in the Lochaber & Mamores section.
Please click on the link below to browse my selection of prints from across the mountains of Scotland and the Lake District:

ML Training expedition.
A tough weekend. Mostly dry with snow and hail showers and a very strong wind on the Saturday. The wind calmed for our night nav which was pleasant. As predicted the rain and wind arrived with a vengeance on Sunday morning. No relief for the next eight hours.
Everyone was prepared and coped really well with the elements!
