If you live in the south of the UK its quicker, easier and often cheaper (thanks to good old Ryanair!) to fly out to our area of Austria and join in the multinational Ice Climbing festival in January than to get to the Highlands! Check out our info on
http://www.hochalmspitze.com/booking-offers/special-offers/ and get in touch if you are interested in either joining in the climbing or taking part in the parallel photo workshop!
