The gofurther team were hoping to bring you some news about new routes on some of the best sports crags in Scotland; but that will have to wait. Instead we have some bad news at the end of the year....This is a picture of Murdo on Mac Talla (7b) at Goat Crag. Taken the day before he had a serious accident in Torridon. While we're assured he will be fine, he's expecting to be out of action for at least six months and probably around a year. We all wish him as fast a recovery as is possible and a complication-free 'rest'.
Murdo will be sorely missed at the crag, on the mountain and around the table afterwards.

Welcome to the revamped and updated go further Scotland website. We'll be using this new news page to keep you up-to-date with everything mountain, climbing, and mountaineering related in North West Scotland: news about conditions, the weather, our activities, offers, trips, new courses and much more......

First of all happy birthday to our newest guide - Murdoch Jamieson - who joined the team this summer. Murdo is a local climber and all-round mountaineer who just happens to be an awesome guide. See about us for more on the go further team.

We spent more time on Skye and Torridon in 2007 than any other year so check out these pages for the heads up on our new three and five day guided trips to some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Europe: Ridge Walking, Torridon Munros, Skye, Sky Munros, Skye Scrambles.

Lastly, while go further tailors most of its guiding to suit individuals and small groups, we've decided to schedule in a few organised three and five day trips in Torridon, Skye and the Fisherfield wilderness. More on those soon....
