Well after a steady drive north up the M74 and A82 we're back in Glencoe, another week of winter skills training beckoning. The good news is that there is plenty of snow, despite a light thaw now setting in at very low levels.
This year we are running a week of courses specifically for retail staff from Cotswold Outdoor. We've got 48 retail staff turning up over the next week from all across the country, eager to join courses catering for complete beginners through to those with a little bit of winter and climbing experience.
We are running the course in conjunction with Plas Y Brenin, the National Mountain Centre and GORE-TEX.
We'll be posting daily reports on what we've been up to as well as the latest on scottish winter conditions.
