What we’re about
Welcome to Fife Young Walkers! We are a vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts in our 20s and 30s who share a love for walking and the joy of exploring the great outdoors.
We are a new group and planning to organise everything from evening strolls, leisurely ramblers, corbetts and munros to weekends away, city walks and muti day hikes with wild camping.
With our group, you can experience fun and healthy living while connecting with like-minded individuals and enjoy beautiful landscapes around Fife and further afield. Whether you're an experienced adventurer or a beginner, we have something for everyone. Join us on exhilarating adventures, make lifelong friendships, and be part of a community that promotes an active and fulfilling lifestyle. Let's embark on memorable journeys together!

Safety:
All members must take responsibility for their own safety on walks. Our walk leaders are experienced, confident walks and will aim to prevent any incidents but personal responsibility is key.
The weather in Scotland is unpredictable so come prepared! Walkers should have sturdy footwear appropriate for the terrain, waterproofs, rucksack and warm layers as a minimum. Please also bring sufficient food and drink to keep you going.
Please arrive at least 10 mins before the advertised start time. If you're running late or have to cancel, please do let the walk leader know.
If you'd like to get involved in leading walks or help organise the group, do get in touch.
Please note, photographs which are published on Meetup may be used on social media sites and for marketing, so if you are uncomfortable with this, please ensure you let the event organiser know.
We look forward to meeting you on walks in the coming months.

See all- Out There Award (Fife)Needs location
Learn entry level navigation skills, make new friends and enjoy fun days exploring your local area on our free award for 18 to 26-year-olds
The Out There Award is bringing outdoor skills to your doorstep. If you’re aged 18-26, Ramblers Scotland’s Out There Award will kick-start your journey into the outdoors while helping you meet new friends, have fun and learn outdoor skills.
This free two-day award scheme is for everyone, regardless of your background, experience, location or budget.
We've co-designed our syllabus with our participants to ensure it’s crammed full of the outdoor skills that can help you get out there. Events are held at accessible locations you can get to via sustainable transport.
Not got all the kit? Don't worry, you don’t need any specialist outdoor gear and we'll give you a free Out There Award participant pack with everything you need to take part.
The award is over two days, with about four to eight participants per award:
Day one is the skills day, you will learn the basics of navigation whilst discovering a local walk and making new pals.
Day two is the exploring day, you will build on the skills of day one and explore an amazing local walk. Both days are led by qualified instructors, who will bring the learning to life.
Don’t worry, the Out There Award is not a formal qualification and you’re not being assessed! It’s all about taking part, learning and having fun. If you participate, you pass!
Everyone who completes the two days gets:
· A year of Ramblers membership worth £41 which unlocks unlimited walks with our walking groups
· A Ramblers starter pack, a branded dry bag crammed full of navigation and safety essentials worth £26
· A signed Out There Award certificateWhen you’ve completed the award, we hope you’ll have gained the motivation, new friends and outdoor skills to get walking more often. You can also use your free membership to get walking with your local Ramblers Scotland young walking group(s).
You’ll also get access to the Out There Award Plus, two days of volunteering and a night's introduction to camping. If you’ve not got a tent, don’t worry! We’ve all the kit you need to get involved.
You can even apply to our Ambassador Scheme, a year long course where you work towards outdoor qualifications while inspiring the next generation of walkers by leading walks.
We provide a welcoming atmosphere. Most people don't know anyone when they turn up, so don't worry if you're alone!
