The majority of work I do is for private clients on bespoke trips, but developments have meant that below I am now offering one or two organised events onto which you can book via my 'Bookings' page.
Just state the event name and date when you fill out the form.
The rates given are for guiding only, any accommodation or travel is at your expense.
Each event includes rough Scottish terrain, where appropriate gear is vital, (refer to my kit lists), and an ability to walk for fairly long days in all weathers. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about this.
​I hope there is something of interest!

Approaching the summit Stob Coir an Albannaich

East of Etive
​9/10th April '22

This is a two day trip, when we will tackle some of the excellent munros that lie in this region. The weather may dictate which day we do which route.

Day 1 - Ben Starav, Beinn nan Aighenan, Glas Bheinn Mhor
20k, 2015m, 9-10hrs
This is a strenuous day, and requires us to be fortunate with the conditions, but the views along Loch Etive and to Ben Cruachan are simply fantastic. There is some easy scrambling coming off Ben Starav, and a little exposure. We will have the option to omit Beinn nan Aighenan if necessary

Day 2 - Stob Coir an Albannaich and Meall nan Eun
17k, 1350m, 7-9hrs
​This is a day with some navigation challenges, complicated ground, and an excellent steep summit ridge to finish, (pictured above)

Cost - £120
Places remaining - 2

Camping at Glen na Muice Beag

Fisherfield Expedition
​27-30th May '22

This is a four day backpacking expedition into the Fisherfield Forest, a.k.a. 'The Great Wilderness', where we will aim to summit the most remote munros.
You will need back packing kit, and sufficient food for the trip.

Day 1 - Meet at Corrie Hallie around lunchtime, check kit, then walk into our planned campsite, (pictured above). As we will have big packs, and need to make two river crossings, it is usually 4+hrs
11k, 450m

Day 2 - We will leave camp early, and make a round of the Easterly munros, returning to camp via Gleann na Muice
17k, 1300m, 8-9hrs

Day 3 - A fine stalker's path takes us high up to the fabulously remote bealach between A'Mhaighdean and Ruadh Stac Mor, with reputedly the best view in Scotland over the Fionn Loch.
19k, 1200m 7-8hrs

Day 4 - We break camp and after the river crossings and possibly a morning coffee at Shenavall bothy, we make it back to cars for lunchtime

Cost - £200
​Places remaining - 1

The second scrambling summit of Trollaval

Rum Cuillin Expedition
​23-26th Sept '22

A four day cycle-pack expedition with the intention of traversing the superlative Rum Cuillin, possibly the Northern hills too, and certainly visit the wild beaches.

Day 1 - We will meet at Mallaig, and catch the ferry to Rum, which is around 90mins, depending on which islands are taken in on the route, which Calmac often change, so this will be confirmed nearer the time.
The intention will be to ride to Harris, where will camp.
11k, 300m, 2-2.5hrs cycle

Day 2 - The full Cuillin traverse. I have developed a route over the years that takes in all of Cuillin, rather than missing off one or two of the summits. It is an undeniably challenging day, but very satisfying. There is steep exposed ground at times, but nothing beyong easy Grade 1 scrambling
20k, 1900m, 9-10hrs

Day 3 - This day often changes, depending on folks' aspirations, (and indeed the weather). We can plan to ascend the Northwesterly hills of Ard Nev, Orval and Bloodstone Hill if the weather is good, or take a cycle ride to Kilmory Bay, where the World reknowned deer study takes place, (and where they film the stags during Autumnwatch)

Day 4 - After breaking camp, we take a leisurely ride back to Kinloch to catch the ferry back to the mainland

Cost - £250
​Places remaining - FULL

On Beinn Eighe

Torridon
​1-3rd Oct '22

A 3 day event whereby we will ascend the Giants of Torridon, sandstone and quartz wonders that soar above the land around. There is some airy scrambling requiring a sure foot, but all of the difficulties can be avoided if necessary

Day 1 - Beinn Alligin, two munros, and the Horns of Alligin.
We usually do a clockwise round, up the newly improved path onto Tom na Gruagaich, where we get a seriously impressive view of the rest of the route. After passing the deep cleft of the Eag Dubh, we summit the highest peak, Sgurr Mor at 986m, before crossing the airy but easy Horns of Alligin
A grand day out, with spectacular views of the what we have in store.
11k, 1190m, 7-8hrs

Day 2 - Beinn Eighe. 
We start the day with a walk into the wild country between Liathach and Sail Mor, and discover the breathtaking Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair and the Triple Buttresses. There is a loose gully to scramble up, and then an easy walk on to Ruadh-Stac Mor, our first munro. Then we pick off a 'top', and onto the main summit, Spidean Coire nan Clach, which again requires some airy but easy scrambling.
The descent is steep and eroded, but straightforward. We will probably have left cars at eaither end of this route to save a tedious road tramp!
18k, 1116m, 7-9hrs

Day 3 - Liathach, 'The Big Grey One'
The finale, the main event!
Liathach is a magnificent mountain, and looks unassailable from the glen, but an excellent path weaves its way into the primeval atmosphere, and we soon gain the crest with amazing views all around. 
Spidean a'Choire Leith takes its name from the grey quartzite which we will scramble over to make the summit, where the views of the rest of the ridge, the Am Fasarinen pinnacles takes the breath away.
We can cross the pinnacles direct, or take an airy but easy bypass path depending on desires, before making our last summit of Mullach na Rathain.
The descent is loose sandstone, but the NTS have been improving the path of late, and have done a great job once we pass the upper section.
Again, we will hopefully have shuffled some cars for a lift back!
11.5k 1326m 8-10hrs

Cost £180
​Places remaining - 5
