October in the Cairngorms is a different world.
The weather closes in, the plateau empties, and the navigation becomes genuinely challenging. It's also one of the best times to train — the conditions demand precision, and that's exactly what builds real confidence.
Our Mountain Skills courses run from 3rd October based in Aviemore. If you're thinking about building real navigation skills before the Scottish winter sets in, this is the course to be on.
And to help you prepare: every participant gets a 15% discount code for Cotswold Outdoors and Snow and Rock to get your kit sorted at a saving.
1-day from £110. 2-day accredited: £255. 4-day progression: £295.
