Do I need to be fit?

No. Except for rare instances, everyone can come on a course because they are tailored to the fitness level of those attending. Our courses aren’t meant to be strenuous – unless you want it to be – it’s meant to teach you the skills you need to go outside and have fun,

How many people on the course?

Our courses on Orkney are for 2 to 6 people, giving enormous flexibility to what you see and do while you're with us. Days run from 9am - 5pm.

Where will I stay?

We can recommend a number of places to stay to suit your budget and comfort level. See Where to Stay.
