Lucy has been a big part of Skye Guides and Basecamp for many years and started working as a guide in 2019. She made the break from teaching after more than a decade of inspiring primary kids with the great outdoors and now uses the same enthusiasm and skill with clients. Her Cuillin knowledge and experience, climbing & teaching skills guarantee a great day out.
Her first scramble was Curved Ridge and first In Pinn with her Dad who was a keen climber in the days of bowline round waist, classic abseil and very minimal gear!
Hi Lucy, Thanks again for a memorable day leading me along a section of the Cuillin Ridge enabling me to complete my challenge of visiting all the Munros and the Munro Tops. BT Oct 22
Lucy was AMAZING! Kids had great fun. TA, August 2023
I just wanted to drop you a note to say what a total star I think you have in Lucy. She found my Goldilocks pace right away and made me feel very comfortable and safe, as well as teaching me a bit about the local geology and botany and being generally great company. She has really made me want to come back! JB June 24
