SCHIEHALLION - Moderate/Strenuous (joint walk with Glasgow Young Walkers)

SCHIEHALLION - Moderate/Strenuous Hillwalk

This joint walk with Fife and Glasgow Young Walkers, will take you up one of Scotland's best known hills, Schiehallion, one of the easiest Munros to climb, it takes the form of a broad ridge, with its famous conical appearance.

NB Numbers are capped at 14, as there will be a similar number coming from Glasgow YW! We also have to comply with Ramblers ratios, and it would be inappropriate and risky to take too large a group up such a popular Munro!
