**Overview**
This is a winter walking event suitable for those who have little or NO previous experience of winter walking and the use of crampons and ice axe.

*There are 5 places available.*

**Objectives**
The aim will be to get out there, practice or learn new skills and tackle a few Munros.

What we do will be balanced against the skills and experience of the group as well as ground and weather conditions. The picture is from a previous training event based in the Highlands. We will be based near Fort William but what we do on the day will depend upon the weather, ground conditions and the ability of the group.

**Cost**
The cost is £450 with £100 paid as a deposit to secure your place. The remainder will need to be paid by 15 Nov. Please ask for payment details if you need them.

**What is included**
Included in the price is:

* Accommodation based upon a twin shared basis
* **Hot tub**
* Basic breakfasts (porridge with berries),
* Sandwich stuff for lunch (add your own snacks and bars)
* and a hearty evening meal (which someone will cook)

Excluded is other fruit, crisps, biscuits, cake and alcohol!

**Phil as Leader**
Phil is booked onto a Winter Mountain Leader (WML) Assessment in February 2026. This means he has attended the mandatory 6 day WML Training course and met the pre-requisites for assessment.

Phil has been experiencing winter in Scotland for a decade and has been leading group events for more than 6 years.

* Clothing appropriate for winter conditions, including multiple pairs of gloves, hats
