Who needs sunshine when you've got views like these? ☁️

The weather might have been a little grey and gloomy on our recent walk around the Quiraing on the Isle of Skye, but the scenery and atmosphere more than made up for it!

With its unusual rock formations, towering cliffs and winding paths, the Quiraing is one of those places that really does have to be experienced in person.

And somehow, those moody Scottish skies just add to the experience.

Fancy taking your mountain walking a step further?

Our Introduction to Scrambling Weekend in Eryri (Snowdonia) is a great opportunity to try something new!

Designed for walkers who are curious about scrambling but haven't quite known where to start, this weekend is all about building confidence on rocky terrain with the support of experienced guides.

We'll be exploring some of Eryri's classic scrambling routes, with the possibility of tackling Moel Siabod and the famous North Ridge of Tryfan, depending on conditions.

We'll be based in a cosy cottage near Capel Curig, with a small, friendly group and plenty of time to relax together after a day in the mountains.

No previous scrambling experience needed, although you should already be comfortable with challenging mountain walks and have a good head for heights.

Find our Introduction to Scrambling Weekend on the Large Outdoors website for full details and bookings.
