Hi all,

A very warm welcome to all our new members! Hope you all are ready for a busy year ahead in the great Scottish outdoors. Please encourage the kids to come along on suitable walks and climbs. My daughter (the club mascot) has been the only kid for the last several years, so no doubt would love the younger company. Lets make this a great year for the club (weather permitting)..........! This is an informal club, there are no rules and very few regulations (your common sense prevails), it's fun, free and the bonus....................new friendships are made! This is a child and dog friendly club (on suitable walks/climbs). Dogs must be kept under control by owners and kept on leash where applicable.

Please take a moment to read the Scottish Outdoor Access Code

PLEASE READ RSVP ETIQUETTE AND CLUB GUIDELINES on the "about" pages

NB. Any accident, injury or illness contracted on any of the walks or at social events to persons or animals is not the responsibility of The Glasgow Walking and Hillwalking Club. Please make sure that you are adequately prepared and dressed for the walks or climbs. If you are unsure about your level of fitness, please check with your GP before coming on the walks.

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his walking boots.
After that who cares, he's a mile away and you've got his boots!

Where?: Queen Street Station

Queen St

Glasgow

( 3 spots left — RSVP deadline: November 26, 2009 8:30 AM )

It's become a bit of an annual event to do the Union Canal, think this will be the third year in a row to do it, but none the less a popular walk, stopping in Polmont for lunch!

I was originally going to arrange it to start from Edinburgh to Linlithgow but quite a lot of the route is closed off. When we did it before we did it all the way to the Falkirk Wheel and then back to Polmont 18.5 miles. Read more

  “I am a London girl who moved to Glasgow 18 years ago and I have always loved the Scottish countryside but sadly haven't seen a great deal of it. The walking will be the perfect opportunity to enjoy the scenery and make some new friends.”

  “I wanted to join a group to go hiking with and to which I can bring my dog. So far I have been going on walks with him alone and it's getting boring alone! I am looking forward to meeting new people and having a bit of fun on the way!”
