Rich was informative and friendly and excellent teacher and guide. Lots of useful resources provided/tips for the future. Thank you I found the whole experience from booking the organisation to completion of course fabulous! I will definitely look at selecting another course soon.

I found the experience something I would recommend to others. Our instructor was very professional and highly experienced in what he was teaching. I would happily book an expedition with Adventure Peaks.

We stopped at a local bed and breakfast which was very nice. It was a very enjoyable weekend. I look forward to doing something in the future with you. Stuart was excellent!
