  Pete R. asked:

  Does anyone have any recommendations for weekend, or week-long, hill walking courses that they've been on in Scotland please? We want to cover map reading and other essential skills for beginners - especially during winter. Not as advanced as climbing etc unless the course covers the basics too. Thanks in advance.

  Can't go wrong with Glenmore lodge (most of the time anyway!) lots of courses pitched at different levels and superb facilities if you're looking at a week's course. Look under "mountaineering courses", where they bundle all the hillwalking type courses summer and winter https://www.glenmorelodge.org.uk/

  Try Glenmore Lodge? We also had an excellent day out with Scotch on the Rocks guiding (Bill Strachan)

  You could do it yourself? Failing that I’ve used adventure Peaks in Ambleside for a few winter courses. Winter walking, mountaineering, snow and ice courses etc. There fantastic and can also tailor the course to your needs. Another one people use is glenmore lodge in the Cairngorms. Better to do your courses with people who know what there doing

  Christopher M. asked:

  Not exactly renowned for my navigational skills - I'm often found struggling to find my front door and I live in a studio flat - I figure it's time to confront my limitations. Can anyone recommend a company who run good introductory programmes to orienteering / navigation? Ideally pitched at a 'which way is North?' level. Thanking you kindly.
