Last year we hosted the MS Society Scotland in their first ever Ben Nevis night hike! Check out their fantastic pictures from the 87 who challenged themselves in 2016. If you want to be part of the fun this year, join the team on 25/26th August http://bit.ly/2h1S9yk

Climb Ben Nevis overnight and experience the beauty of a sunrise over the Scottish Highlands. Taking part in the Ben Nevis hike as an MS Superstar means you'll be helping us to beat MS!

We’ve been pretty quiet over the last few months as we’ve been developing a range of new adventures for 2018. We’ll be offering worldwide adventures to remote and inspriring places, starting with the Himalayas! We’ll shortly be taking bookings for our Annapurna Base Camp trek but you can register your interest now by getting in touch via [email protected]

Annapurna base camp is in the heart of the Annapurna region, whose peaks were once deemed the greatest challenge in the Himalayas. For a spectacular experience this trek is hard to beat!

This adventure will take you deep into the Annapurna sanctuary and allow you to experience what Himalayan life is all about. Experience Kathmandu and Nepali rural life in traditional villages that haven’t changed since the first European explorers ventured along the trail. The whole experience is framed by rugged landscapes and awe-inspiring panoramas. You will climb through ancient oak and rhododendron forest, walk by raging rivers and pass thundering waterfalls, all under the shadow of the magnificent Himalayan peaks. The iconic Fishtail Peak (Machapuchare; 6,993m), the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Hiunchuli (6,441m) tower over this captivating landscape.

The trek is challenging, but within the grasp of most moderately fit people, and with only 10 days walking is relatively short by Himalayan standards. A day in Kathmandu at either end of the trek plus a hot spring at Jhinu Danda make this a thoroughly fulfilling experience!

Numbers are strictly limited but you can ensure your place before the adventure goes live on the website by emailing [email protected] . See you on the hill!

A massive well done to the 90 people who took part in the Nevis Night Hike last weekend, especially those who were raising funds for MS Society Scotland. Pretty favourable weather meant most were successful in reaching the summit of Ben Nevis. A valiant effort by everyone and a huge amount of money raised for a very worthy cause. See you again next year!

Three Peaking in May? Be aware that Ben Nevis is still in full winter conditions and the Scottish Avalanche Information Service are still conducting avalanche surveys while these conditions persist. Our advice would be to a) ensure that you're well equipped with extra layers, spare hats and gloves and plenty of food and b) turn around when you reach the snowline unless you're equipped with crampons and an ice axe (and know how to use them!)

Our first Three Peaks Challengers of the season last weekend did exactly that and still thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Don't get summit fever and risk your safety. If you need any advice get in touch.

It's not all about the Three Peaks Challenge! We're running our Night Hikes again in 2016. A brilliant opportunity to climb Britain's highest mountains in the dark, descending as the sun rises over the horizon.

First up is Ben Nevis http://www.mountainandglen.com/night-hikes/

Night Hikes on Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon are a different way to experience the mountains! Perfect charity events and fundraisers
