Roughing It
All our trips involve a degree of 'roughing it'. The accommodation we use is comfortable but by no means ostentatious: it is selected not only for high standards of hygiene and comfort but also on the basis that it is a friendly and relaxing place to be. On this trip you will be accommodated in a climbers’ lodge in private en-suite rooms of four.
