What we’re about
We are a group of friendly, outdoor enthusiasts who love getting out and about exploring the beautiful countryside of Scotland from the borders to the highlands.
We organise walks that suit all different levels of fitness and ability from easy grades to strenuous. Choose a walk that suits your capability. Then have a great time, enjoying some company in a safe and supportive environment.
Can we remind everyone that not turning up for trips that are restricted in numbers, or, not meeting someone that you have arranged to get a lift from is unacceptable. We will take steps to exclude persistent offenders.

'Please only RSVP if you plan to attend this walk, as it not a 'reservist' opportunity to cancel last minute as this is unfair on walkers wanting to attend who may need to arrange car lift/travel'I reserve the right to remove people who have had no shows previously or a history of cancelling last minute and to add people onto the walk who I know will turn up if there's a wait list. No Shows will be noted on attendance as far to many people cancelling last minute and unfair on walkers who want to plan ahead to attend. I do understand circumstances can change, however, please consider your rsvp to be fair to members and my time seeing you safely do this walk.
Hope to see you for this lovely walk with good company again.
