About us
Hi, we're a friendly, welcoming group for everybody who enjoys outdoor activities in Perthshire and beyond. Perthshire is a big place, so this is your chance to connect with new friends and explore more of the “Big Tree Country” and beyond.
Our plans include a diverse programme of A, B or C level walks, including
• Energetic Munro and Corbett hikes, long-distance hill and moorland walks and shorter strolls around local attractions
• Mixed biking excursions with outdoor experiences, such as wildlife trails around Loch Leven, visits to the seal sanctuary at Tentsmuir
• Walks based on scenic attractions with extensions, for example, the Birks of Aberfeldy combined with a section of the Rob Roy Way
We look forward to meeting you on one of our walks in the near future.
Cheers, Mike, John, Jamie, Tim, Pat, Rob, Graeme, Martin and Neil.

Special Event - Car Museum, Vintage Bus, Perth Car Show, and a Walk
perth airport, Scone, PH2 6NP, GBThis is not a normal walk and definitely one for any car fans. Although your welcome to join for just the walk if you wish. As always, we are all responsible for our own decisions, safety etc as such this Meetup event is making you aware of what’s on so we can all as a group of individuals can enjoy it together.
The Event has 4 elements:
A tour of the Morris Leslie Private Car Museum @ Perth airport, there is a fee/charitable donation to enter the museum. Last year it was £10. It opens at 10am and depending on our interest and how busy the museum is we may be in there for a couple of hours.
It's a collection of cars and memorabilia you will recognise from “our” lifetimes and is well presentedPart 2 we then take a free vintage bus ride from Perth airport to the Perth Concert Hall, I will try determine if there is a schedule and propose we travel into Perth together. Last year dogs were allowed on the bus!
Next, it’s the car show on Tay Street, I missed it last year so not sure how this plays out. This year I read the/a Batmobile is on show as well as a Benetton F1 car. I suggest another couple of hours here and everyone takes lunch/refreshments you prefer before we head back.
The final element is a 9 mile walk back to the Airport via the Destiny bridge. I propose that we depart around 14:00 from the Albert Memorial at North Inch. As the cafe at the airport will probbaly be closed by the time we get back I'm trying to sort a stop off on the way for tea & cakes more on that when I sort something!!
As this is more about the car events that a walk we can determine an alternative shorter route back should weather be against us.
It is a social event with a walk so the timing is open to discussion and change as it best suits the group.

Special Event - Alloa Folk Cruise
Alloa Harbour, The Shore, Alloa, ca, GBThis will probably be the shortest “walk” ever hosted under the POSG banner!! And definitely comes under the social part of our group. It's a cruise 🛥️ so all you need to do its walk down the gang plank onto the Maid of The Forth at Alloa Harbour. We will then cruise for 3 hours up and back down "the windings" on the river Forth. We reach just just outside Stirling at Springkearse where the A91 blocks our way. There is a BBQ steak or vegan supper, live entertainment and a bar onboard.
Tickets are £40 per person so not the cheapst, however from a previous trip I can say the bar is not expensive!If you’ve climbed Dumyat on one of our events you’ve already looked over this section of the river and this is a great way to see the area from a different perspective.
Follow this link for more details and book tickets: https://www.maidoftheforth.co.uk/Alloa-folk-cruise
The Important bit: If you want to attend YOU need to book your own tickets, and I would do it ASAP as this cruise is only on a couple of times each year and sells out fast.
After booking Include yourself on the attendees so we know who’s coming along.
The cruise start point in Alloa is: https://w3w.co/cute.crisis.scuba
There is Street parking in the area.
Distance: Just a few nautical miles
Duration: 3 hours approx and It's all a break 🤣
Ascent: Depends if you go to the upper deck or not!! And if we go below sea level it’s a bad night 🏊🏻
Pace: Just a few knots
Surface: Water ﹏﹏﹏Car Sharing, it's friendly, helps the planet and parking spaces. As well as saving resources it can help get other folks out for the day. 🛖🚙🧑🏻🤝🧑🏻
or you may want to considor a bus ot the train 20 mins walk since the boat has a bar!!
Please wear suitable sailing gear for the evening weather, Walking poles will be a waste of time unless you want to prod people over the side!!
Loona won't be there as dogs are not allowedHealth & Safety on Ships...
Not sure we have a boiler plate for this one so I'll keep it short and say your booking this of your own accord and the group have no responsibility for you, others, the ship, the weather well really not anything!
