Jealous much?  Ever wanted to rub shoulders with some of Britain's best alpinists, mountaineering in the Scottish highlands?  Well, that is what 60 of our staff at Cotswold Outdoor are up to over the next week and a bit. 

Today was Day 1 of Course 1, and we are lucky enough to be staying at Plas y Brenin's Scottish base at Alltshellach in the Scottish Highlands near Glencoe.  Andy Turner and Stuart McAleese are amongst the guides we have on the course, and Dave McLeod will be joining us on Sunday.  This has to be the pinnacle of any aspiring mountaineer's career, or even just those who are into the outdoors, no matter how it is served!  Where else would you be kitted out head to toe in Mountain Equipment gear, for 3 days out in the Scottish Mountains, able to play with Britain's best climbers, all in the name of providing better customer service at Cotswold Outdoor?
