These weekends
benefit our guests in many ways. The first is getting up
in the hills and walking for a few days, in a mountain environment
and terrain looking at fitness, walking pace etc. The second
is talking through all medical issues and questions you
may have regarding altitude, heat problems, foot issues
and so forth. The third is discussing the day to day logistics
of the trek you have chosen and specific issues regarding
sleeping warm at night,expectations etc. The fourth benefit
is meeting with others who are undertaking the same type
of trek or who have already done the trek or similar challenges.
The final benefit is to look at all aspects of trekking
equipment that people have and discuss the merits and pitfalls
of the different types. There is also the fun part of a
week or weekend away in the Scottish mountains!
For people
that are doing the Island Peak trek, we will have a day
of training in the basic techniques that you will need,
as part of the itinerary while on trek
