What have previous clients said?
Rob,
I thought that after my 4th fantastic course that it was high time that I join the ranks of satisfied punters and send you a note of formal thanks…..
Firstly, I must say that you make what can be sometimes be a daunting prospect (for example learning to climb for the 1st time) both very enjoyable and on contemplation seem like “a walk in the park”.
It has been a real joy and education to benefit from your relaxed but innately observant tuition.
With your guidance it has really empowered me to strike out safely into new areas of mountains and hills with a new found confidence that I would have never of thought possible.
Anyone wanting to learn new skills or develop their existing ones simply couldn’t do any better but benefit from some of your expertise and guidance.
-Looking forward to seeing you in the Cuillins in May!
All the best -
Stuart - Navigation & Hill Skills, Intro to Climbing, Intro to Scrambling & Winter Skills Weekend - Jan 2010
