Glenrothes Hillwalkers Club

Indoor meets & club weekends are cancelled till further notice.

As you know from our website the club walk for 9th of August is to the Cairngorms.

We want to run a bus and as such have contacted Hamish Gordon. He is implementing the same conditions as other companies, such as Stagecoach, which means only half the numbers for the size of the bus can travel.

So to that end we are going to hire either a 33 seater bus which will hold 15 or a 49 seater which will hold 23 people. We will charge £12 still and club funds will make up the difference.

June Smith needs to have a list of names by 31st of July.

If you want to go on the bus on 9th of August please contact June Smith asap. I'd prefer if you pay online directly and say Augwalk for the reference.

We are a friendly club composed of like-minded hillwalking enthusiasts of all ages and abilities, and work hard to maintain a sociable and supportive environment within the club. We operate a comprehensive programme of indoor meetings, monthly walks at different ability levels with organised transport, weekends away staying at bunkhouses and hostels all over Scotland, and training in key skills to ensure your safety on the hills.

Members also benefit from the opportunity to learn skills from more experienced members. If you are considering an outdoor challenge, such as the Three Peaks Challenge, ascending the Matterhorn, climbing Kilimanjaro, or just tackling Ben Nevis, we have members who can give you practical advice on equipment, planning and training.

There are other benefits from membership, such as discounts at leading outdoor stores, membership of Mountaineering Scotland (MS), and public liability insurance. You will find more details on the Membership Benefits page.

We welcome new members, so if you want to enjoy the hills whilst getting fit and having fun, please come and join us. You do not need to join the Club before your first walk, as we operate a “Try before you buy” policy - your first walk is free, other than the cost of the transport, so you can come along and see if you like us without commitment.
