Alright rob - -just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for a great course last 2 days.I appreciate your patience for answering all my questions and putting up with the constant chit chat - i hope you dont have too much of a headache!
was gutted to have to leave snowdonia last night for the 5 hour trek back to suburban boredom! work nice and quiet so far today so been online researching ropes, gear and a knot book( which i need!!!!) so i can get up there on my own and start to tick off the routes from the guide.
i have got the bug for it now in a big way, and plan on training hard to get my fitness and experience to a level so i can do the matterhorn in the next 2 years or so - i am sure you will be seeing me again when i am ready to make that next step.
thanks again, and enjoy your alps trip you lucky boy, and good luck with all the dog training and nappy changing!!
kind regards Dan Advanced scrambling Sept 09
A great day had by us both, good skills learnt and put into action on the following morning as we ascended Tryfan ourselves. Was wonderful to have the confidence to leave the well trodden paths and climb our own way to the summit. Most satisfying! Thanks again and already thinking about our next visit.

Rob - I had a fabulous time on Tuesday and Wednesday, I think you got the level and pace exactly right and I enjoyed the very focused delivery with your friendly and approachable style. So given that I’ll be in touch about doing some more stuff with you as you’re nice and local and I’m convinced you could make me into a better mountaineer and climber (although if we go up slippy stuff again I may wear different boots )!

Hi Rob,
Just thought i'd say thank you for a brilliant two days scrambling. I learnt much more than I expected and am now in the process of finding some money to buy a climbing rack so I can get out myself! All the best with the upcoming move, hopefully see you soon
Cheers

Hi Rob
Back at work today (uhh!). Just wanted to say thank you for the last two days advanced scrambling in Snowdonia. Clogwyn-y-person Arete will stay with me forever and I have a permanent grin on my face reliving the memories of the two days and what I achieved thanks to your guidance and expertise. It has made me determined to carry on and gain more experience in readiness for scrambling on Skye next year and one day I'll get to do the Cullins traverse. As always it was great to see you. Hope the move goes well next year.
Regards,

Dear Rob,
I just wanted to say thanks for a great four days in Wales. As usual the
standard of instruction, choice of venues and routes were superb.
I am constantly impressed by your professionalism and apparent ability
to deal with anything nature throws at you. This is borne out by the fact
that despite being lashed by wind and rain on the top of Glydr Fawr and
descending something akin to a waterfall, all three of us left the hill with
a smile on our faces! Well done! Thanks again - Mark - Sept 07
Just writing to say thanks for a couple of amazing days in the
mountains, the course far exceeded my expectations and took me way out of
my normal comfort zone and what I though I was capable of. I enjoyed your instruction and interesting facts about
the mountains and despite a couple "wobbly" moments always felt
I was in safe hands.Traversing onto and then climbing up the face of
the Dolmen buttress are moments that will stay with me for a quite a
while ! brilliant ! How my legs kept going on Friday I'm not
sure, will power and adrenaline I think, I'm VERY sore today and
wishing I lived in a bungalow !
Thanks again Cheers Paul – Grade 2 and 3 scrambles - 2 day course October
