I'd like to get on a winter walking skills course up in Scotland this season - can anyone recommend who I sign up with?

Thanks.

In reply to simon b.: www.jagged-globe.co.uk - I'm on a winter course in Scotland with thme in February. Have no experience of any others sorry.

In reply to simon b.: I was impressed with Stuart Johnson's lot last year in the Cairngorms (www.climbmts.co.uk) - excellent local knowledge and very friendly. Unfortunate that my guide broke his ankle walking out of Schneachda but that's probably just me being a jinx client - very impressive mountain rescue tho!

In reply to simon b.:

If you can russle up a couple of mates (or even one), then these guys are excellent at a good price - also you can taylor it to your own aspirations, etc.

Richard, when you up with JG?? I'll be up on the Winter Mountaineering week for the first week in February 1st to 6th; you up then?

Was with them last year with the Missus for a winter skills course; hotel and scran were top notch.... guides/instructors were excellent as well!!

Martin Moran in Lochcarron, I did a week-long one with him in 1997. Apart from the sh1te weather, it was terrific.

In reply to simon b.: Are you a student, or young, Check the conville trust on the BMC website,

In reply to simon b.: Try Wendell's Mountain Skills-Scotland. www.hillskill.co.uk

In reply to simon b.: Mountain Innovations are very good and at a price that will be hard to beat considering that they throw in full board and accommodation!

In reply to Hornster: Ive stayed there, good food, and the guys some kind of weather god, I asked for a prediction of the day and got a scary lesson on how little I knew on all the different air masses. Nice guy as well.
