Long transfer at both ends that isn't obvious from the listing. Budget a day either side.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Worth every rupee.

Faroe Islands in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. Worth every rupee.

Faroe Islands in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. No hesitation recommending them.

Faroe Islands in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Would send friends their way.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.
