Approximately half of my working time is spent running private courses. Clients like the flexibility of being able to choose dates and course programmes to suit them.

Some of the advantages are:
- You choose the date - just call or email to arrange dates
- You choose the activity - you can mix and match perhaps going climbing one day and navigating the next
- You spend your time with friends that you know
- You can do specific routes or peaks
- You can learn specific new skills or train for specific objectives

How does it work?
I charge a daily rate. You decide what you want do in that day and share the cost with your friend(s). Different activities require different ratios for safety - this affects how many people you can share the cost with. I have set these out below, along with the cost of a days instruction/guiding.

The cost is £175 per day for 1 or 2 people.
Additional people are then charged at £25 each

If you have a large group we will hire additional instructors and can provide a free space for the group leader.

Hillwalking: 1: 6 (1 instructor to a maximum of 6 clients before another instructor is required)

Scrambling:
Grade One: 1:3
Grade 2 & 3: 1:2

Rock Climbing:
Single Pitch: 1:4
Multi Pitch: 1:2
