I had my first experience with the mountaineering company this week on their navigation course, and I feel like their service and delivery of this was excellent. The group of people on the course was of varying experience, and Matt and Kathryn most definitely provided a course that was accessible and helpful to all of us. Both instructors were incredibly friendly and helpful, and their passion for their job and the mountains really shone through. They were both genuinely interested in our progress as individuals, as well as the reasons we wanted to build our outdoor skills.

I will most definitely be coming back for more courses, and I've already spotted a couple that I'll be booking onto. Do not hesitate to invest in yourself and these lovely people if you are able to!
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.

Had a great time with my brother on a mountaineering introduction course in the Ogwen Valley. Learnt loads over 3 days. Matt, our instructor, catered the course to our learning needs to ensure all the information went in! Couldn’t recommend a better company to learn mountaineering & navigation with! ⛰️
2 day introduction to mountaineering course, didn’t know what to expect from the experience but I was blown away with everything we did. Matt and John got us out in some pretty awful conditions for the last intro course of the year but it was so worth it. A quick meet up at a brilliant cafe with a sit down and a chat and then absolutely no messing about. Straight onto the rock learning the basics but having the absolute best time doing so. Going to be booking my mountaineering development course ASAP. Matt and John were incredibly professional, clear cut, patient and just good blokes. Exactly what you want. Don’t bother with anyone else!
Just back from THE BEST 3 day mountaineering development course! I cannot recommend highly enough if you enjoy scrambling and are looking to progress and learn skills to be safe on harder terrain. Our instructor John was grea;, knowledgable, encouraging and patient, he added techniques and tips as we went so as not to give too much information at once, we learnt so much. He selected routes for our abilities and preferences and ensured I felt safe. Thank you Matt and John. Can’t wait to get back to the mountains 😊
I booked in for a two day map reading course with instructor Matt. I already had a basic knowledge of map reading but wanted time out in the hills/mountains to fine tune these skills. I asked Matt to push and challenge me as best he could and he delivered exactly what I asked. I soaked up every bit of information Matt gave me, I was challenged and pushed but always felt safe. We had a day of bad weather and a day of great weather and both days were fantastic. I’ve already recommended Matt and his team to my friends and I will most definitely be back. Thanks Matt for such a great experience I came away with much more confidence having such an amazing few days with some great views of the Snowdonia National Park.
I have recently just done the Hill Skills course and it was absolutely fantastic. I have some experience walking in hills and I was surprised at how much Matt taught us over the two days. I learnt so much! Matt is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and fun. Both days were varied and in stunning locations, ideal for anyone interested in hiking, beginner or not, would definitely recommend!
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.
