Evening!
So over the last couple of years, I've been slowly trying to get out more and more for days of hillwalking and scrambling around the Lakes, North Wales and the West Pennine Moors.
I'd love to start building up some winter experience so I'm thinking of taking a course in the new year to get some miles, skills and a little bit of confidence under my belt.
I've looked at the various courses offered by Plas Y Brenin and Glenmore Lodge, and to be honest, they all look and sound great.
I'm sure it's been asked previously, but have people generally found these to be a good and worthwhile trips for beginners? Any particular recommendations or preferences?
Despite trying to convince a few of my mates that standing on a Scottish hill in the snow, wind and rain would be a great way to spend a few hard-earned days off, I've not had any takers so it's likely that I would be going solo. Does anybody have any experience of this and still found it to be enjoyable attending on your own?
I'm sure it's more down to what you make of it that determines a good or bad experience but I thought it would be worth a quick ask on here before committing.
Would appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks!
