Have you seen the winter wonderland and thought you may want to explore the Scottish hills a bit further than your current skills and confidence allow you to? Why not spend a day in the Cairngorms with WalkDeeside and find out a bit more about the basic requirements of winter hill walking including, the use of specialist equipment such as ice axe and crampons, the availability of further training and navigation techniques.  Meet at Hilltrek on Saturday 26^th Feb at 8.30 to 17.00

Cost is £40/person (minimum 4 persons/maximum 6 persons)

For further information and booking contact alan@walkdeeside.com

If you catch the bug you don’t have to buy new kit immediately, we can hire you crampons and ice axes. Call us on 013398 86062 or email us on sales@hilltrek.co.uk for pricing.

We will be holding a sale at our shop in Aboyne starting Friday 23rd and continuing through to Saturday 29th.

 The sale will offer great discounts on our retail stock including down jackets, ski clothing, waterproof jackets, fleeces, base layers etc etc. Brands include Rab, Helly Hansen, Patagonia, Páramo and Hilltrek.

We want to clear our stock of Hilltrek one-off Lomond Jackets, one-off Ventile jackets, trousers and smocks, fleeces etc. So there will be some great buys to be had.

 I’m afraid that it is a retail sale only and not offered over our website -you have to visit us in beautiful Aboyne!
