Location
The Helvellyn range provides the most reliable snow cover in the Lake District so we tend to gravitate towards it's coires and ridges.  Other areas used may include Blencathra and 

Previous experience
This course is ideal for regular summer hill walkers. You don't need any previous experience in climbing or winter conditions.  Winter walking is a physically demanding activity and you should ensure you are reasonably hill fit prior to attending this course.

Dates
We can happily run this course on any dates from the 1st January through to early April. Courses are usually between one & two days in length.

Price

£250 per day plus £20 per additional person up to a maximum ratio of 1:6
