Skills For The Hills Event
March 25, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm
£2An ever-growing number of Scots are escaping to the hills to enjoy a whole range of mountain adventures. Over thirty of Scotland’s leading outdoor organisations will be joining forces this March for the biggest event of its kind, aiming to equip all those who love the Scottish outdoors with the skills they need to venture out safely.
Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland will be part of this event and help promote safe riding in the hills. They will be going to promote responsible mountain biking and highlight their Do The Ride Thing campaign. They will also be providing information on being and keeping safe on a bike in the hills for seasoned bikers and provide a whole host of information to help those new to the sport get out there and have fun – safely and responsibly.
Skills for the Hills – Scotland’s biggest gathering of outdoor organisations and mountain enthusiasts – will take place on Saturday 25 March, 10am to 4.30pm at Glasgow Royal Concert Halls. The event will be officially opened by outdoor broadcaster and journalist Cameron McNeish, who has been a patron of Mountain Aid since 2010, and will deliver a keynote lecture on the day.
An entrance fee of £2 per adult and £1 per child will allow access to all the stands, workstations, talks and lectures, plus the chance to win a variety of exclusive prizes.
