BIRTHDAY CANOEISTS CHEAT THE WEATHER

David Lane chose NW Scotland to celebrate his 40th Birthday with his pals. Highpoint provided the canoes, tents, food and a guide and the group braved the elements to make a it a birthday to remember!

You can book canoeing/hillwalking trips to NW Scotland with Highpoint as a group, or as an individual, couple or small group on one of our May-October mini-expeditions.

Check out this fantastic speed climbing video - I used to climb Middlefell Buttress in under 5 minutes and thought that was fast - I was wrong, it was positively snail-like compared to this...http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=l-oc-lhqpIA

Many thanks to Philippe at Brasher for sending in some pics of the 'summer' - climbing at Finale in Italy, and a really nice shot of the top of Bosigran - thanks Philippe!

Walking in NW Scotland 20/21 January. A great time was had by all, despite limited sunshine. We had great view from Suilven, a delightful scramble on Stac Pollaidh and stormy seas at Sandwood Bay. We also found a dead whale washed up on the beach at Sandwood, and saw a tremendous display of fishing by the local Gannets!
