Summary:
We were among a group of 7 walkers + Hillgoers guide Andy who completed the Lochnagar 5. Five Munros in 11 hrs. The day happened to be wet & misty but we were very safely & competently guided, motivated & informed by our leader Andy. The group gelled well. Hillgoers organise fantastic events which enabled us to complete a walk we wouldn’t otherwise dream of attempting

Summary:
I’m just back from the trip of a lifetime with Hillgoers on Skye in the Cuillins and one that I will never forget!! I booked this back at the start of the year and given that I have a fear of heights and exposure it’s a miracle that I managed to do this! I obviously very much wanted to but wasn’t sure if I would manage the more technical stuff but I did (thanks to Iain the guide) and I’m still buzzing!!!
Iain was absolutely brilliant, couldn’t recommend him highly enough! I was quite nervous about the trip but after a call with Iain the night before to discuss everything I felt much more reassured. He seemed to have this era about him that relaxed me and took a lot of the fear out of it. He knew every foot and hand hold and talked me through the whole thing.
He was very professional, knowledgeable and passionate about the mountains and I felt in very safe hands at all times! We also had alot of laughs along the way!
The weather was fantastic too! Such an amazing experience with breathtaking views!
Thanks Hillgoers for the best trip ever!!!
