Hillwalking

For the Summer Hillwalker, taysideTREKKING has introduced a series of Courses based around the techniques that you – the Hillwalker – will have to know for you to be safe on your own trips into the Mountains.

Our Summer Hillwalking and Summer Scrambling Technique Courses are all arranged with dates to suit you, and more importantly, they are not rigidly structured, allowing us to concentrate on what you want to do, in order for you to get the most out of our time - from one day to a week - the choice is yours.

Summer Hillwalking Techniques

This course provides an introduction in how to walk safely in the Mountains in summer conditions. This is a practical Course, we spend every day in the hills covering various topics including map and compass work, navigation, clothing, equipment choice, weather, route planning and security on steep ground. At the end of the course, you will be equipped with the practical information and the ability and confidence to venture out into the Mountains in summer conditions.

Summer Scrambling Techniques

The progression from Hillwalking to Scrambling, can be a little daunting. This ideal course aims to help with this process and seeks to provide the Hillwalker will the skills to safely tackle the many superb ridge-walks and scrambles that are around the Mountains of Scotland. Again the Course will be practically led with the majority of time being spent on the hill looking at equipment choice, rope-work, belaying, movement on steep ground and navigation. The rest of the course will be spent scrambling on Classic Grade 1 ground. At the end of the course you will be equipped with the confidence and ability needed for safely scrambling in the Mountains.
