Ability Level

This event is ideal for those with some previous hill-walking experience looking to gain some mileage and enjoy a week of scrambling and hill-walking with others. You don't need to have any previous scrambling experience but you will need to be happy on steep ground as the aims are to summit mountains via the classic ridges and scrambles in the park. You can expect to be walking in the mountains at a relaxed pace for around 8 hours per day so a good level of fitness will be needed.

No you dont need any previous scrambling experience just some hill walking experience and the desire to push onto steeper ground.

Grade 1 scrambling is any ground where a rope shouldnt be required but the use of hands and feet is neccerssary to reach the top. Think of it as short rock steps with the possibility of some exposure.

You will check in on the evening of the first day after 4pm. Your tent will be pitched and ready to go so you can head straight to bed if you need to. 


We fully support those using public transport and lifts and car shares are offered during the event. On some occasions we can offer collections from the train station in Lalndundo or Bangor, please let us know if you require help with a transfer. Busses and taxi services also run regularly from all main train stations and bus terminals. 

You can bring a sleeping bag or duvet and pillows. We will provide a foam roll matt, feel free to bring any of your own camping equipment if you prefer.

Camping is on a twin-share basis. If you require your own tent please let us know and we can provide a single-supplement for an extra £15.

Testimonials

I've now been on two courses with The Mountaineering company. Both courses were great, learnt loads and Matt/Sam were brilliant instructors. I would definitely recommend to anyone getting into mountaineering to book onto intro and development courses. I'm looking forward to doing more courses with them in the future. (Google Review)

Alex Heaps

My partner and I booked Matt for two days mountaineering instruction so we could learn how to use ropes on climbs that were out of our comfort zone. We had a fantastic two days and Matts structured approach allowed us to take it all in and practice all the techniques over and over again. We both now feel more confident to take on more adventurous scrambles. Thanks Matt

Andy and karren

Fantastic day on the Back to Basics Navigation course with Matt. Very well organised and learnt a lot. Matt was very professional and great at teaching the skills with lots of patience and encouragement. Really enjoyed it and will definitely be signing up to other courses in future. Highly recommended.

Chontelle Wright

A great day out learning how to use a map and compass with Matt. His teaching style gave us just the right amount of information without feeling overloaded. I would highly recommend Matt !

Chris

Just got back from a fantastic weekend with Matt on the Welsh 3k and couldn't have asked for a better time. We had blue skies and cool air so it wasn't too hot and the views were simply incredible. Matt set a great pace allowing us to push our limits but never going beyond what we were capable of and we finished in 18 hours 32 mins. Hes a top bloke and I would certainly recommend him and The Mountaineering Company to anybody. Thanks again Matt. You will certainly see us again next year no doubt!

Chris Mansell

We attended a navigation course today with Matt. He was fantastic, can’t rate him highly enough! We had no knowledge at all, but have come home feeling confident and ready to tackle our adventure! Thank you Matt for a fabulous, fun day

Claire Black

I thoroughly recommend Matt as a leader & guide. I experienced an exhilarating & fun day with a super group doing Matt's Ogwen Classics day. Matt managed our mixed levels of ability & confidence with a calm, encouraging, alert & purposeful manner. He inspired confidence through recognition of our efforts & shared his knowledge & experience to support our skill development. The day passed all too quickly!

Excellent day out with Matt on my first ever Scramble. I found it pretty tough in places but Matt was always there to put me at ease, offer instruction and with his support I made it to the top. Would highly recommend to others.
