Hi Rob,

Just a quick note to say 'thanks for the brill w/e in Snowdonia on the Hill Skills course. I always think learning should be fun and enjoyable to be truly effective and you certainly achieved that on the course! Many thanks for the NNAS certificate, which I received at the end of last week; I look forward to putting it all into practice again in the very near future. I certainly intend to sign up for the Intro to Scrambling Course at some point, but as I'm off to work in Milan for 6-9 months very soon, I'm not sure when I will be able to do so. Still, I'm looking forward to some trekking in the Dolomites and maybe even do a couple of via ferratas as a warm up in the meantime.

Thanks again and best wishes for the future,

Regards Keith Hill Skills & Navigation April 08

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the photos, we had a really excellent time and wish we were
doing it all over again this weekend.
However we are looking forward to trying out our new navigation skills
in the lakes tomorrow and Sunday !.

Thanks again, Sarah - Hill Skills & Navigation April 08

Rob - Thanks for the 3 days in Wales - as always a great experience and I
have returned ready to prepare for the next! Will try to keep the climbing
practice up so that I get more confident too.

Thanks for the CD - can't get it to load on my computer, but managed to open
it on my son's laptop!

Hope your weekend wasn't marred by the weather and that you didn't have to
cancel any clients - Monica - Private Guiding April 08

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

I’ve only just got a chance to email you to thank you for a fantastic weekend in Snowdonia. It was good to learn from you and to have some company in the hills with like minded people. Although I think my tendency to drift off into a world of my own will be hard to overcome!

A very nice friend has actually bought me membership of the BMC and registration on the Mountain Leader scheme. So it looks like I’m doing the Mountain Leader training, which means more lovely weekends in Snowdonia and hopefully Scotland!!!

Anyway hope to see you again. Take care
Laura - Hill Skills April 08

Hi Rob,
Had a great time on the course. Thanks a lot. I even managed to go back on the gondola and round where we were on Saturday during last week and take some photos, which was very exciting.
Thanks again,
Tamara Winter Skills 2008

Rob hi, Sam and I received the CD with the pictures of the winter skills weekend
this morning and I just wanted to write to let you know what a wonderful
time we had. The instruction was first class, the setting was amazing
and we had a great time and had our aspirations totally met and
exceeded. I'm still assimilating the information passed on by yourself
and have found a new confidence to be able to look up at the winter
hills and not feel like its beyond us now. I also felt that we came
away having gained not just the skills but some new friends which is
always a huge bonus. In addition to all this we'd like to undertake the intro to scrambling
course with yourself. Thanks once more. Nik and Sam Winter Skills 2008

Thankyou for the winter skills week it was absolutely fantastic. Once again thankyou and I will see you in April - Jason - Winter Skills 2008

Thank you for a fantastic couple of days, as you know I really enjoyed
pushing the boundaries yesterday! I loved your relaxed encouraging style,
you were just the inspiration I needed to help me see a way through to
achieving change in my life. Journey home slow into London so not tucked up
in bed till after midnight - had to have a hot bath - I definitely know
which muscle groups are used for scrambling!
Monica - Private Guiding - Dec 07

Hola Rob!
Thank you so so much for a fabulous weekend, I enjoyed it so much and
the smile still hasn't left my face. I just wish I was back in Sella
today rather than at my desk, I really did fall in love with that place.
The photo's on your gallery are great! Im looking forward to booking the next trip with you-just gotta decide what that is!
Thanks again

Rob - Thank you for a fantastic weekend, I really enjoyed myself and feel like I have accomplished a lot. Look forward to organising another trip with you soon...

Hi Rob
Thank you so much for a great weekend, it has restored my love for climbing that the months of indoors had been suffocating!!
Victoria - Costa Blanca Nov 2007

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, Mandy Advanced Scrambling Nov 07

Rob - Thanks for an ace weekend - Adam and I are now trying to plan a trip to the
peaks before we forget everything. Almost certainly we'll be back for more
multi pitch and some new skills once we done a little more practice. Chris & Adam - Learn to lead Oct 07

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 - Multi Pitch Climbing & Advanced Scrambling Sept 07

Hello Rob
Hope your well first off thanks for an excellent week trekking we both really enjoyed the experience and it has given us lots of ideas for future holidays. Everything from your guiding to the places we stayed and visited were superb. The night in the hut was something to remember and hopefully repeat. We found a nice restaurant in Zermatt just behind the hotel called Chez Gaby give it a try next time your there. We are looking at taking a break in Snowdonia next April and I can take two days to fit in the Navigation course. This holiday has got me thinking about doing the Mountain Leader course and looking at what my ambitions are, so once again Rob thanks for a great trip and look forward to seeing you soon. Many Thanks S & A - Arolla to Zermatt Alpine Trek 2007

Hi Rob 
We had such a briliant time, Thanks Rob it's the best thing I've done - ever! I don't think we'll ever forget it. I hope that you enjoyed the mad Evans family as much as we enjoyed being in that magnificent place. The train went like clockwork and we got back to Arolla around 2ish. All the tolls etc were as your course notes. A fantastic end to a fantastic holiday.
Arolla to Zermatt Alpine Trek -  Aug 2007

Hi Rob - Just wanted to let you know that we are not in fact still wandering around, scratching our heads, in Snowdonia so you must have done a good job. We had a lovely day and almost didn't get wet. The ascent was interesting to navigate and beautiful, we'll do something more difficult next time.Thanks for a fun and very useful weekend. Regards, Joanna - Hill Skills July 2007

"Hi Rob I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for a brilliant 2 days! We learned so much and had so much fun doing it. We certainly have the bug now!All the best and I’m sure we will be seeing you again soon.  Take care Jo" Intro to climbing May 07

"Just a note to say thanks a lot again for a cracking week of scrambling on Skye. Glad to have done the course and

learnt so many new skills.  Looking forward to going back to climbing wall tonight (now that the bruises are

subsiding!). All the best, Gabby" Skye Scrambling 2007

"Thanks again for a great week. With your tuition I do now feel empowered to be able to undertake pretty much any

scramble the UK can throw at me!" Alan Skye Scrambling 2007 

"I just wanted to say thank you for a great couple of days. The instruction was superb, as was the choice of routes. I feel I have learnt a lot. What I'm still amazed at is that you managed to find a deserted area on Bank Holiday Monday!!!! Fantastic. Anyway, thanks again. All the best, Mark". Intro to scrambling - May 07

Hi Rob - Just a quick note to thank you for an excellent weekend (April 28th / 29th) in North Wales on the Introduction to Climbing course. The course surpassed all my expectations, much obliged for all your advice, guidance and tips and I look forward to booking myself onto more courses in the future. Many thanks - Gareth

"Hi Rob, What a fantastic time mate, brilliant!!  That's the best Birthday treat I had thus far in all my 21(ish) years, thank you. How you managed to arrange the weather as well as wonderful climbing in The Pass and Idwal is a mystery, but I guess I'm just used to the best from you by now. I'll literally never forget the days we had, with the fun & laughs. Thanks again Rob. Regards Bill"

"Just wanted to say thank you for a great winter skills week! I felt I learnt a great deal about the skills required to place myself in a winter environment in the mountains. This course was a perfect introduction before completing my first mountaineering trip to the Alps this summer. I would strongly recommend this course to anybody in a similar situation. The course was tailored to compensate for the members current knowledge, fitness and experience so the week was always geared to be learning new skills. A big thanks, keep in touch and look forward to completing a course with you soon. Ice climbing I think!
P.S I'm still not convinced that the pasta water should be used for hot chocolate! All the best Rob.  Ben Potts- Winter Skills February 2007".

"Rob,I just wanted to say thinks for your time during the Winter Skills course that recently we took with you. It went about as perfectly as we could have wished. I particularly liked the way that you took us through a range of learning in a very practical way, everything from diet through to a gradual and progressive development of technical skills, often without us actually realising how much we had learned until we practised again the following day. And of course, it was fun as well.We are now thinking about next steps and of course, how we engage you further.Thanks again and all the very best" Graham winter skills Feb 07

"Just a quick note to say a big thank you for the weekend.  So many memories, I'm finding it hard to concentrate at work today.  The scrambling was excellent, the snow an added bonus and I'm now totally hooked. You may make a mountaineer out of me yet!" Mandy April 06 Intro to scrambling
 
"Just wanted to say thank you again for a fantastic weekend. Chris and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt, at all times, confident and comfortable in your very capable hands. I'm sure we will use ExpeditionGuide again in the future." Tim - April 2005 Intro to scrambling

"I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you again for a superb weekend am well and truly hooked now and have no doubt that we'll be meeting again in the near future..... cheers mate" Paul - Intro to climbing April 05

"I just wanted to write and express my thanks for a great trip to La Grave. My first time climbing in the Alps was a little daunting, knowing that I would be trying my hand at quite a few things I’ve never tried before, but you guys really inspired confidence. Looking back at the photo’s it was just an amazing experience and climbing icefalls where you can see and hear the water running behind the ice while your several hundred metres up is something I know I’ll never forget.
I would certainly recommend your services!" James - Ice Climbing in La Grave Jan 05

"Great, great weekend. Everyone got a lot out of it (I even managed to escape an ear bashing from our lass so she must have enjoyed it too!!) Marc - Tailored course scrambling, climbing and navigation Aug 04.

"Hi Rob. Just a quick line to say thanks for a cracking couple of days.It was exactly what we needed - great instruction and great fun (which is something coming from somebody who has never seen any attraction in rock climbing - it's for nutters isn't it?) Intro to climbing  I hope to be back for more in the future." Jeff - May 05

"Thanks for an excellent 2 days - your patience and professionalism were very much appreciated and I was genuinely amazed by how much more knowledge I came away with" Roy - Learn to Lead May 05 

"Thanks for a great week, I have been to Stanage this weekend and led 6 routes for myself, and we had a great week in Glen Coe" Paul Learn to Lead - July 05 

"Thanks for a very informative day, I look forward to putting it all into practice and coming back for your hill skills course" Jenny Intro to Navigation- Oct 04

"I made it!! Bet you never thought I'd send the post card I promised! Trek was very hard and cold but fantastic. Just awesome" Helen - Jan 05 - Joined us for a 1 day Intro to Navigation as preparation for a trek to Everest Base Camp!

"Just a quick note to than you for your time and expertise in teaching me this weekend, I feel that I have gained a lot of valuable skills that I shall be reflecting upon in time to come...I look forward to booking futures courses with you." Tony - Oct 04 Hill Skills Course

"Just a quick mail to say thanks for the ace time I had on the Hill Skills course back in October. A long time to get a response I know, but I have only just dryed out!Since then I have had fun getting my family lost, and boring everyone at work with my contouring technique around the desktops! It has inspired me to get out on the hills a lot more, in fact I'll be back in Snowdonia this coming weekend trying out the Glyders! Who knows, this year maybe a scrambling course? Hope the business is thriving - onwards and upwards!" Hill Skills Course
