Overview
This is a winter walking event suitable for those who have had previous experience of winter walking and the use of crampons and ice axe.

There are only 3 places available.

Objectives
The aim will be to get out there, practice or learn new skills and tackle a few Munros.

What we do will be balanced against the skills and experience of the group as well as ground and weather conditions. The picture is from a previous training event based in the Highlands. We will be based in Glencoe but what we do on the day will depend upon the weather, ground conditions and the ability of the group.
