I attended a three day winter skills course in the Cairngorms. Matt and John were great throughout and provided some great training together with amazing views when we were blessed with good visibility. I now feel confident to dip my toes into winter hill walking and feel I have a much better appreciation as to what's required to plan a safe and rewarding trip.
I fully intend to return next winter to further this knowledge
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this course to others

Amazing trip with Matt and the team. 😊 Enjoyed different aspects of Moroccan culture and cuisine finishing with a lovely stay in a Riad in Marrakesh.
Reaching the summit of Mt Toubkal was incredibly challenging but encouraged all the way by the team 👍 Not bad going for a Septuagenarian 😊

This is my fourth time out with The Mountaineering company. As always the leadership and instruction was top notch. The group was excellent company and we all gained a huge amount of knowledge despite the low level of snow. I've already booked my next challenge with them.

Spent 2 days doing the “Intro to Scrambling” course in Snowdonia and it was superb. Gained some real good skills to help me with my future grade 1 scrambling goals and met some awesome people. Matt is totally professional and a top guy as was Rachel who took us into the mountains after the introduction and theory. Highly recommended. Thanks TMC.

I attended a two day Mountain Skills course with this company and every aspect more than met my expectations! The leaders were extremely knowledgeable and friendly and really tailored everything to the group's learning desires, working at the pace the suited everyone. I learned SO much in 2 days and had such a wonderful experience in the mountains to boot. Would highly recommend these guys!

Amazing 3 days on my mountaineering development course , under the expert tuition of Simon and Luca we quickly gained knowledge and experience to accomplish some challenging and interesting scrambles . Couldn’t have asked for more . Thankyou for your time and patience.

Had such a brilliant one to one session with Matt! It was completely tailored to my needs, went at a great pace and Matt was patient and informative, giving me loads of extra tips and tricks. I finished the session feeling much more confident hiking in the snow. Would 100% recommend, thanks again Matt!

I’ve just returned from a 5 day Mountain Independence course run by Matt and can honestly say, it is one of the best weeks I’ve ever had.

Matt is very professional, super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. You can tell he loves what he does and loves just as much passing his knowledge and expertise on to other people. A special shout-out to Sam & Dave who took us out on days 2 & 3, Both of whom were just as friendly, helpful & knowledgeable as Matt.

With this being my first time in the mountains I was unsure if the course was going to be right for me, but Matt assured me it would be and he was right. The course is the perfect mix of learning and adventure. The skills I’ve picked up this week are invaluable and with the confidence I’ve also gained, I know that if I wanted to go out in the mountains on my own, I could and would be able to keep myself safe.

I loved every day on the course but the highlights have to be the grade 1 scrambling we done, along with the night navigation and wild camp on days 4 & 5. Waking up yesterday in the mountains on a perfect sunny autumn morning was just incredible and the perfect way to end the week.

I’d have no hesitation recommending Matt and his courses to anyone, be that the absolute beginner or the more experienced outdoors person looking to improve or gain new skills. He has courses for all skill levels and know they will be run in the same professional and friendly manner mine was.

Thanks once again Matt for an amazing week and look forward to seeing you again soon.
