'A Confidence Game' is a story about feeling safe and confident in the Scottish mountains. I'm taking you with me on the 2-day Hill & Mountain Skills course at Glenmore Lodge to learn about navigation techniques, what kit to pack, how to plan a route off-trail and how to keep ourselves safe in the hills.

After the story, I walk you through my detailed hiking tips for Scotland. We'll talk about what to wear and what to pack, where to find suitable routes, the role of mountain rescue and more.
