North West Scrambling Course

North West Scrambling Course Itinerary

The itinerary will depend on what route we select based off your aims, the weather and the conditions on the day. 

We would normally aim to meet at the base of the venue at 09:00 where we would then head upon and spend the day on the mountain scrambling up the route of choice like Liathach. All the while taking in the stunning views on route stopping for lunch up on the mountain before heading back down
