A great event for those with previous hill experience as we are covering steep and rocky terrain.

We will meet at 7.45am and start out walk into the hills, starting off on a land rover track before turning up into the Coire and onto the mountain path. A steep pull up to our first Munro of the day Stob A choire Odhair. Once we have reached the summit we will enjoy a well deserved break and bite to eat.
We will head down to the bealach whilst taking in the views over to the other two black mount munros and the surrounding mountains of Glencoe. Another steep pull up to our second munro with some thrilling views back down into Allt Coirean Lochain and A fun mini Aonach eagach ridge to scramble before reaching the munro summit. The views from here are outstanding with never ending mountains all around to the glistening lochans over a the empty grounds of Rannoch Moor.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                 There will be plenty of breaks and photo opportunities throughout the day.
Heading off hill we gradually make our way down to reach some waterfalls where the descent is steep and eroded until we reach the foot of the falls. From here we have a river crossing before meeting up with the main path out for a leisurely walk back to the cars.
                                                                                                                                                                                                          Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.

The route takes in An Gearanach, Stob Choire a Chàirn, Am Bodach and then follows the Devils Ridge to Sgùrr a'Mhaim.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      What the day includes -
We will meet at 7am we will car share down to the end of Glen Nevis and will start our day with a walk into the steall falls. Most cross the wire bridge here but we will be taking a quicker option of a river crossing ( if the water low enough ) from here we have a steep pull up on a good path to the first Munro of the day, An Gearanach. Heading off the summit requires care moving over the steep and rocky terrain.
Dropping down to the Bealach and pushing onto our second summit, Stob Choire a Chairn. After a quick break we will push on again dropping down and reascending up Am Bodach.
Next onto the devils ridge , starting with a grassy arete which leads you to a rocky section which can be troublesome. The bypass will be used if conditions don’t allow. After a short down scramble the technical terrain is behind us.
A final push to reach our fourth and final munro of the day, Sgurr a mhaim.
Looking back around this spectacular circuit and the ground you have covered whilst enjoying a good break and well deserved rest.
A steep descent still awaits us so heading off we will take our time dropping back down to Glen Nevis to retrieve the cars and shuffle the morning drivers back down the Glen.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Please note - we may do route in opposite direction.
This event requires a good level of fitness as we will be out for the duration of the day.
You must have good previous hiking experience to attend. Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      What the day includes -
We will meet at 8.30am at the car park and start our walk, a good KM on flat terrain before we approach the shoulder of Ben Starav.
From here we have a good push up to the summit continuing up the shoulder , being one of the highest Munros in the area the effort put in is rewarded with stunning views down Loch Etive and the surrounding mountains.
                                                                                                                                                                                                       As we gain height the terrain starts to change with a Boulder field approach to the fine summit. We will enjoy a well deserved break and bite to eat whilst capturing the rugged landscape.
Instead of heading back the same way, a nice circuit will allow us to enjoy some light scrambling over a small ridge, this can by be bypassed if required. Descending to the bealach and then into the Coire for the walk back out.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                  This day is suited to those with previous hiking experience and a good amount of hill fitness.

No scrambling or climbing involved.
The Cuillin Ridge is climbers paradise and many who prefer having two feet firm on the ground leave these mountains to last or avoid them all together.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          What the weekend includes -

The feeling of remoteness on these hills with no busy main roads buzzing below, instead we are surrounded by the rough and rugged west coast Mountains stretching over the Rough bounds of knoydart and South Glen Shiel.
                                                                                                                                                                                                Continuing on from the bealach we will head for the second Munro , Spidean Mialach.

Though still bagging the two munros the hill walkers way! This is still a big day covering some steep round.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                        What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning we will head off picking up a great stalkers path which will gradually pull us up onto the bealach where we continue on towards Forcan Ridge. At the foot of the ridge we will branch off taking the bypass route which traverses the Coire to Bealach Coire Mhalagain.
After a quick break we have a steep pull up to the summit of our first Munro, The Saddle. Retracing our steps the way we came we will drop back down to the bealach and head on for our second munro. A little further in distance to reach and a few false summits later we will gain the second munro of the day, Sgurr na sgine.
                                                                                                                                                                                             Depending on the group and conditions we will either descend via Faochag or head back to the bealach and pick up the stalkers paths from earlier in the morning.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                               This event is ideal for those with previous hiking experience and good hill fitness.

The views throughout the day are outstanding from the surrounding mass of mountains and the loch below.
Onto the second Munro of the day with a short and simple arete taking us up to the summit of Sgurr a Bhealaich Dheirg. From here we will retrace our steps and then descend to the Col for the pull up to our final Munro of the day, Aonach Meadhoin. The day isn’t quite done yet , to avoid the steep flanks we will continue along the ridge line and over a subsidiary Munro top before descending back down towards the Cluanie Inn.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Once back down at the Cluanie Inn we will jump into the cars and head back back to the starting point to retrieve the rest of the cars.
There will be plenty of breaks and photo opportunities throughout the day.
                                                                                                                                                                                                            This hike is suited to those with previous hiking experience and a good amount of hill fitness is a must!

4 munros - 17km - 1676m ascent - 9-11 hours
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             The Ring of Steall is a real classic mountain route combining the traverse of four Munros with scrambling along narrow, rocky aretes. The route takes in An Gearanach, Stob Choire a Chàirn, Am Bodach and then follows the Devils Ridge to Sgùrr a'Mhaim.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      What the day includes -
We will meet at 6.30am we will car share down to the end of Glen Nevis and will start our day with a walk into the steall falls. Most cross the wire bridge here but we will be taking a quicker option of a river crossing ( if the water low enough ) from here we have a steep pull up on a good path to the first Munro of the day, An Gearanach. Heading off the summit requires care moving over the steep and rocky terrain.
                                                                                                                                                                                                       Dropping down to the Bealach and pushing onto our second summit, Stob Choire a Chairn. After a quick break we will push on again dropping down and reascending up Am Bodach.
Next onto the devils ridge , starting with a grassy arete which leads you to a rocky section which can be troublesome. The bypass will be used if conditions don’t allow. After a short down scramble the technical terrain is behind us.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                A final push to reach our fourth and final munro of the day, Sgurr a mhaim.
Looking back around this spectacular circuit and the ground you have covered whilst enjoying a good break and well deserved rest.
A steep descent still awaits us so heading off we will take our time dropping back down to Glen Nevis to retrieve the cars and shuffle the morning drivers back down the Glen.
                                                                                                                                                                                                          Please note - we may do route in opposite direction.

Following the footsteps of history hiking up the pony track ( mountain path ). We will start from Glen Nevis visitor centre meeting at 7.30am .
Though many people take on the challenge of reaching Britain’s highest summit, it certainly takes effort to reach the top with very rough terrain underfoot for the majority of the way.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    An enjoyable pace will be set whilst we make our way up to the half way lochan where we will have a quick break and bite to eat, refuelling us for the journey to the top. From a well maintained mountain path we move onto the zigzags where the terrain turns a lot rockier underfoot, time for a final push to the summit and soon to be some of the highest people in the UK, with 360* views if we get lucky enough with the weather!
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Learn about some of the history of Ben Nevis and its summit features whilst enjoying a well deserved break with lots of photo opportunities.
After we have refuelled and had a break we will make our way back down the pony track back to Glen Nevis.
                                                                                                                                                                                                           You must have a good amount of fitness to be able to attend this event.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     From here the ground is steep and rocky in places before easing off a little. As we approach the summit the views are spectacular, a mountain you won’t want to rush off! We will enjoy a well deserved break and bite to eat as we soak up the stunning scenery.
                                                                                                                                                                                                          Depending on weather and group ability we will either continue on and make a circuit for the day or retrace our steps back the way we came.
This event is ideal for those with previous hiking experience and a good amount of hill-fitness.
                                                                                                                                                                                                       Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.

Maol Chean Dearg makes for a brilliant day out on the hills with incredible views over the Torridon giants.
                                                                                                                                                                                                              What the day includes -
We will meet in the morning and start our hike making our way up the Glen, a few KMs walk in to warm up the legs at the start of the day before we start ascending.
Before we approach Coire Fionnaraich we will head off the main path and start getting some ascent in, though this route makes for a really nice gradient for the full day.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Once we reach the Bealach you will be drawn in to the spectacular views of An Ruadh Stac , an impressive rocky Corbett whilst lays next to our Munro and will be in sight for the remainder of the day, giving you more reasons to head back to this breath taking area to explore deeper.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                       A short steep section for another gradual but rocky ascent for the final push upto the summit of Maol Chean Dearg. We will enjoy a well deserved break and bite to eat whilst taking soaking up the surrounding views.
Retracing our steps back out the same way we came in for a leisurely walk back to the cars.
                                                                                                                                                                                                             This event is ideal for those with previous hiking experience.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Fancy a few days Munro bagging on the impressive Black Cuillin Mountains, Isle of Skye ?
No scrambling or climbing involved.

Ben Lomond Voluntary Path Maintenance Day

Ben Lomond Voluntary Path Maintenance Day
Rowardennan / Ben Lomond
25/09/24
9am - 4.30pm
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Over the recent years hillwalking has became increasingly popular with thousands visiting and hiking to the summits each year. Human foot fall over time has a massive impact on erosion and expansion of paths, scaring the mountain side and effecting the mountains very own fragile eco systems.
In many areas we are lucky enough to have an amazing team of workers and volunteers who maintain our mountain paths but it’s a never ending job and one with more hands the better!
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                So how can us as hikers and mountain leaders help out and get involved ?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Come and join us for the day, with Wild Venture Scotland and Ben Lomond NTS ( National Trust for Scotland )
A days volunteering - learn how the mountain paths are maintained throughout different sections , what tools we use and help out maintaining a section of the mountain path.
You don’t need experience as you will learn new skills on the day, a good amount of fitness is required as after all everything is moved and maintained by muscles!
If required the group can be split into lower and higher sections on the hill to suit the full groups abilities.
It’s a great day on the hills and one you certainly won’t forget, helping to protect the mountains and paying back a little from the many of adventures they take us on.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                       This is a VOLUNTARY day so no cost required to join, if our date doesn’t suit you can check out the NTS webpage and sign up to volunteer on many of their other days throughout the year.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                              All work tools and safety equipment will be supplied - please wear some old hillwalking clothes and boots you don’t mind getting dirty.

We will meet at 8am and from there start our hike , pulling up the shoulder of Am Bathach pretty much right from the roadside. A fine grassy ridge takes us over to the Corbett summit, a more interesting approach to our munro.
From Am Bathach we will descend to Bealach a Choinich and continue towards Ciste Dubh, though one of the smaller Munros in the area it’s an impressive mountain! After a well deserved break and bite to eat we will retrace our steps back down to the bealach and pick up the path for a walk back out down the Glen and back to the cars. There will be plenty photo opportunities and breaks throughout the day.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            This event is ideal for those with previous hiking experience and a good amount of hill fitness.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          What the day includes -
With a different start and end point for this hike, we will arrange to meet at the end location for some car shuffling and sharing in the morning. Once we are at the start point we are straight onto the hill with a steep and continuous pull up to the bealach.
Once we have reached the bealach we will stop for a quick refuel before making our way to the first Munro of the day, Saileag. The views throughout the day are outstanding from the surrounding mass of mountains and the loch below.
Onto the second Munro of the day with a short and simple arete taking us up to the summit of Sgurr a Bhealaich Dheirg. From here we will retrace our steps and then descend to the Col for the pull up to our final Munro of the day, Aonach Meadhoin. The day isn’t quite done yet , to avoid the steep flanks we will continue along the ridge line and over a subsidiary Munro top before descending back down towards the Cluanie Inn.
Once back down at the Cluanie Inn we will jump into the cars and head back back to the starting point to retrieve the rest of the cars.
There will be plenty of breaks and photo opportunities throughout the day.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         This hike is suited to those with previous hiking experience and a good amount of hill fitness is a must!

With a high level starting point for these hills the Ascent each day is minimal for what you are taking in. The rolling plateaus of the east make for easier hiking on gradual terrain. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
What the day includes - 
Meeting in the morning we will car share down to the starting point just to save a few extra Km at the end of the day.
Covering rocking summits and featureless plateaus most of the day, these munros don’t give off the mountain appearance compared to other ranges but make for an excellent day out on the hills hiking over the vast rolling plateaus of the east.

Isle Of Skye Weekend - SOLD OUT

Isle of Skye Weekend
09/08/24 - 12/08/24
3-night accommodation ….2 Guided hill days taking in 2 Munros
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Fancy a weekend Munro bagging on the impressive Black Cuillin mountains, Isle of Skye? No climbing or scrambling involved.
The Cuillin Ridge is climbers paradise and many Munro Baggers who prefer having two feet firm on the ground leave these mountains to last or avoid them all together. But there are plenty of opportunities to still bag some Munros in the Cuillin Ridge which only involve hill walking to reach the summit and all under the safety of a qualified mountain leader.

We will meet at 8.30am and start our walk into the hills, starting off on a land rover track before turning up in to the coire and onto the mountain path. A steep pull up for our first Munro of the day, Stob a Choire Odhair. Once we have reached the summit we will enjoy a well deserved break and bite to eat.
We will head down to the bealach whilst taking in the views over to the other Black Mount Munros and the surrounding mountains of Glencoe. Another steep pull up to our second Murno with some thrilling views back down into Allt Coirean Lochain and a fun mini ridge to scramble over before reaching the Munro summit. The views from here are outstanding once again with never ending mountains all around to the glistening lochans over the empty grounds of Rannoch Moor.
There will be plenty breaks and photo opportunities throughout the day.
Heading off hill we gradually make our way down to the top of a stunning waterfall, here the descent is steep and eroded until we reach the foot of the falls. From here we have a short walk and river crossing to catch the main path back out to the land rover track.

BEN NEVIS VIA THE PONY TRACK - £55PP
1 MUNRO - 17KM - 1345M ASCENT - 7-10 HOURS 
Ben Nevis - Britain’s highest mountain!
 Following the footsteps of history hiking up the pony track (mountain path). We will start from Glen Nevis Visitor Centre meeting at 8am. Though many people take on the challenge of reaching Britain's highest summit, it certainly takes effort to reach the top with very rough terrain underfoot for the majority of the way.  A enjoyable pace will be set whilst we will make our way up to the halfway lochan where we will have a quick break and bite to eat refuelling us for the journey to the top . From a well maintained mountain path we move onto the zig zags where the terrain turns a lot rockier underfoot, time for the final push to the summit and soon to be some of the highest people in the UK, with 360* views if we get lucky enough with the weather! Learn about some of the history of Ben Nevis and its summit features whilst enjoying a well deserved break with lots of photo opportunities.
 After we have refuelled and had a break we will make our way back down the pony track back to Glen Nevis. 
You must have a good amount of fitness to be able to attend this event.
