With regret, Abacus Mountain Guides can not deliver guiding and training courses until the end of April at least. We might need to stay closed for longer depending on where we are with the coronavirus pandemic.
Our customers need to travel from somewhere in the UK to Fort William, stay in a hotel/B&B, and come in to contact with quite a few people. They will potentially bring and transmit the virus to our rural community which is possibly less able to cope with it than other areas, or we could transmit the virus to them to take back to their communities.
As much as we like to think that climbing is essential, it's actually not, and stopping the spread of this virus to vulnerable people in our communities is more important.
We are still taking bookings in May and June but there is a high chance that these will also need to be rescheduled for later in the summer. Hopefully everything will have settled down by July and we can carry on like normal.
Stay safe folks, look after people in your community and do what's right for the health of the nation.

Abacus Mountain Guides began life in 2000 in Fort William. With over twenty five years of experience, IFMGA Mountain Guide Mike Pescod and Abacus Mountain Guides provide world class mountain adventures on the west coast of Scotland.
World class adventures require world class instructors, so we only use the very best. All our hill walking, mountaineering, climbing and mountain biking instructors are fully qualified with UK or international qualifications, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very keen to share their enthusiasm with others! Our priority is to create the perfect trip for you, and this is what gives us the most satisfaction. Most of our work is private guiding so let us know your goals and aspirations and we will do our best to make it happen. We specialise in providing exactly what you want. If you can't find it here please get in touch and ask. |
I go to the wild to be put in my place, to be battered and
embraced by wind, rain and sun; I go to the wild to be reminded of what matters in this world; I go to the wild to remember who I am; I go to the wild to feel; I go to the wild. R. Bradley 25th April 2017 |
