Pete Long

He was very astute and had a clear understanding of people and decision making was appropriate in relation to safety due to inclement weather.

Peter was very good, great knowledge of flora and fauna exhibited, kept the group walking at the required pace. Dealt efficiently with any issues and group dynamics. Particular highligths wwere his motivational poems/talks every morning and the passion he displyed for his job and the coumtryside.

Pete was an excellent guide (even if no otters appeared in the bay as promised on "Otter Wednesday"!). He took great care in planning each day's itinerary to make the most of Knoydart and the surrounding islands, despite the weather constraints, and engendered a great group dynamic. We all appreciated his knowledge of the flora and fauna, and always looked forward to his morning literary quotes, hot tips on bush-craft and 101 things to do with a bracket fungus ;-)

Pete was knowledgeable, encouraging, enthusiastic and clearly passionate about the Scottish wilderness and experiencing it fully.

novel, knowledgeable, and promoted confidence

good "reader" of people

Pete was great - a good laugh, a gentle way of including everyone, full of knowledge, and some great stories. Most of his jokes were funny too ;-)

Pete had a lovely way of keeping the group together with individual needs considered.

As mentioned earlier - I thought Pete was just fantastic. A thoughtful, considerate man with a real passion for nature and ensuring the group got a very unique experience. And a fantastic sense of humour and play!

Pete's life experience and specific wisdom as an outdoor enthusiast was perfect for our group. He is humble and gentle while being real and pointed. I adore him! He shares his beliefs about wilderness through poetry and they align with mine so I loved his perspective and approach. He made it easy to ask for help...and to sink into and enjoy the moment. i am so grateful he was our guide.

As already written - Pete Long is a superb guide. Very knowledgeable and passionate about walking, wilderness, nature, people and how we engage and respond. His quirky sense of humour and "start of day" readings of poetry or prose were an inspiration joy. A truly great guide.

We were also particularly fortunate to have David R. (Wilderness Scotland) with the group. David's knowledge and enthusiasm, and Kirstie's 'joie de vivre', added to a truly memorable trip.

I enjoyed the 'immersive' experience, I'm unlikely ever to be a big poetry fan, but enjoyed seeing that aspect, and all the other stuff (firelighting, bones, flora, birds, oneness with nature, etc)

Pete, thanks for your calm, thoughtful manner and great wit. We loved having you as our guide; you made the holiday truly great.

Pete was outstanding! He made a point to walk and talk with everyone on the hikes. He told us poems during the hikes which made it more fun!

Overall the guide was excellent. The pace of the hiking was sometimes quite fast and precluded even enjoying the scenery, needing to watch every foot step.

Pete Long is a great guy and guide. He is considerate, thoughtful, kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable.

Pete was fantastic! He had great stories and he did a great job at trying to accommodate every body in the group.

Pete was super safe and thorough. And a total nutter with his dry sense of humour.
Fun yet very professional.

Thank you to the crew of Eda Frandsen and thank you very much, Peet!

Peter looked after us on all our Walks. He provided knowledgable information about the natural environment we encounter. The walks usually included a relevant poem.
Sometimes we could not work out if he was being funny or serious but it was all done in a good natured way.

Pete gave us a great series of varied island and wilderness walls which exceeded my expectations.
As above he responded correctly to a medical emergency and also made use of the groups resources...I'd the two retired doctors.
Good humoured as you would expect of a horrified birth Scott.

Pete Long was the Best guide we have had both with Wilderness Scotland and other guided trips we have been on.

Pete was meticulous in briefings the evening before. One day when there was a stiff breeze, and taking the whole group into account, we had a change of plan ( though there was a democratic vote on it too). Faced with an accident, Pete handled it quietly and efficiently (aided by Andy of Doune). In the middle of the incident, Pete waded into a very slippery burn to help me because I wa on the wrong bank!!!! He did that with two packs on his back!

Pete Long is a terrific guide, I liked his approach and appreciated his support
In my view the best guide I have had in this the third Wilderness Scotland trip I have taken

Thanks to Pete, guide extraordinaire ! Knows his mountains, and how to make it a great experience for everybody.

Thank you to Pete, who guided us confidently, involved all of the group in shaping the experience, was sensitive to our different abilities, shared his expert knowledge and administered first aid expertly when Allen needed it.

He is definitely a "kindly curmudgeon" and I liked his open, quiet and straightforward approach.

Pete was very insightful, persistent, calm in the face of adversity, compassionate. confident. He was a strong leader.

Pete was the perfect guide. He shares just the right amount of pertinent and interesting information about the highlands. And he has the most delightful sense of humor.

Pete was just brilliant! Lovely guy, funny, knowledgeable, experienced. I loved his tendency to start walks with a poem. Kept the whole group together and happy, I am now proud to have heard the orange for a head joke! Also great when things don't go to plan, we had a member fall dislocating a finger and needing stitches. Pete dealt with this calmly and efficiently, managing what could have been a tricky situation expertly. He really is an asset to you and we were thrilled to have him as our guide.
