What we’re about
We're a new, friendly group that organises outdoorsy activities for people of all ages and abilities, although individual events won't necessarily be suitable for all abilities. We'll organise anything that's outdoorsy: walks - from a stroll around a park to climbing a Munro - wild camping, mountain-biking, road-cycling, climbing, kayaking, sailing, wild swimming, and so on.
And given that it can be nice to be with fellow outdoorsies even when not doing something outdoorsy, we also organise non-outdoorsy events: cinema trips, visits to museums and galleries, attending talks and performances, meals/drinks-out, and so on.
Any member can organise an event - see Become an organiser.
There's no obligation to attend our events regularly - you'll be welcome at any of our events whether you come to every one or one a year.
We love meeting new members, and we understand that attending your first event can be at least a little daunting, so we've prepared this: First-time nerves.
If you know of others who may be interested in joining our group, please tell them about it, including via social media - the more members, the more events, the more fun.
We look forward to meeting you at one of our events! :-)
