The venues will vary depending on the weather so this is often decided fairly close to the dates. I will give you as much notice as possible (and hope the weather is kind). Some times collection from public transport and/or car sharing is available. Venues used include; Neilston, Kilsyth, Rosyth, Stirling, and Arrochar. I reserve the right to postpone or cancel the session for any reason, including weather (this will be done as soon as possible), and minimum group size. I strive for a personal experience so I can meet everyone's personal needs/goals so I keep my group small. Max group size is 6, minimum of 3
