Lucy has been a big part of SG and Basecamp for many years and we are delighted to have her in the Skye Guides team at last. She was a full time primary school teacher but took a sabbatical year to concentrate on passing her Mountain Climbing Instructor award in 2018/19. She has returned to teaching for now but will be joining us for weekends this Spring and for most of her summer holidays. Her Cuillin knowledge and experience, climbing & teaching skills and boundless enthusiasm guarantee a great day out. Will she make the break to full time guiding next year?
