PERSONAL GUIDING DAILY RATE & RATIOS

Daily Rate per instructor is £220 and £120 for a half day, regardless of the chosen activity.  The price includes the use of specialist equipment. However, for reasons of safety instructor to client ratio will vary depending on the nature of the day’s programme

Typical ratios for instructor/guide to client are:

• Hillwalking | 1 Instructor to 6 Students
• Scrambling | Grade I | 1 Instructor to 4 Students / Grade II & III | 1 Instructor to 2 Students
• Rock Climbing | Single Pitch Climbing 1 to 4 / Multi-pitch Climbing 1 to 2
• Mountain Biking (MTB) & Bike Packing | 1 to 4 

Please note that group and individual discounts are available and we highly recommend that you ring or email to discuss your requirements

The main advantages that spring to mind when opting to book your own session are the flexibility that comes with choosing the time and place which suits you. However, when considering private guiding there are many equally important factors which are sometimes overlooked.  For example:

Multiple Activities | You can choose from a variety of activities such as climbing, scrambling and mountain biking 

• Bespoke Technical Packages | Learn specific skills or train for specific objectives. 
• Groups | You choose the people that you want to spend your time with.
• Ability & Experience | Choose the pace that you want to progress and that you feel comfortable with.
• Economy | Spend your money and spread the cost on the things that you want to do
