Really enjoyable trip up Lochnagar in winter conditions guided by Hillgoers, great group and fantastic leader (Edd!). I usually do 1 or 2 guided walks a year with Hillgoers , these have included Navigation and winter skills and I always feel they are great value for money. They are my first choice for a guided walk.

Thank you, Hillgoers. Had a fantastic day of winter skills near Braemar with Edd as our guide. The day was packed with experience and enjoyable, thanks to his flexible and non-pushy approach. I want to do more winter hill walking.
