The walk was very well organised with plenty of preparation and the necessary kit. All the staff were welcoming and helpful but most outstanding was the guide, Aaron (I think) who right from the beginning showed that he was there to ensure that our experience was safe and enjoyable. We were a fairly small group, probably due to the atrocious weather conditions. Aaron was supportive throughout the climb and very knowledgeable at the top when explaining landmarks. He showed real care and professionalism when one of the party was struggling on the descent and ensured that she had a positive experience.

Great experience. Didn't have to wait long to get going and the walk wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. There was no rush to get to the top you could do it at your own pace. The instructor was very nice ; checking in with everyone on the way up and down. The views were great and it was nice to just sit/stand and take them all in. Would definetly recommend.

    The staff were so good. The man who received us was personable and Aaron who was our guide was very funny. It's so common these days to have an experience ruined by bad staff, I was delighted,
