Our Guides |
During busy periods of the year we call on a small team of selected Mountain Leaders and Mountaineering Instructors who share the same passion for the hills as Mike, Donald and Sally. Your instructor might hold the Summer Mountain Leader, Winter Mountain Leader, Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor, Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor or IFMGA Mountain Guide qualifications, Trail Cycle Leader or Mountain Bike Leader Mountain Bike qualifications or British Cycling Level 2 or Level 3 MBLA. Mike also works as a mentor to MIC trainees who we use for winter guiding and instructing work. We only provide qualified and experienced instructors and guides but please feel free to ask about what qualifications your instructor holds.
Instructors and guides are working for Abacus Mountain Guides as sub-contractors. They are responsible for your safety when you are doing the activity with them and they hold their own professional liability insurance for this. We make every effort to make sure the instructor or guide is the right person for you through our previous experience with them, their qualification and through training and mentoring them in their work. |
