About us
We are a group of friendly, outdoor enthusiasts who love getting out and about exploring the beautiful countryside of Scotland from the borders to the highlands.
We organise walks that suit all different levels of fitness and ability from easy grades to strenuous. Choose a walk that suits your capability. Then have a great time, enjoying some company in a safe and supportive environment.
Can we remind everyone that not turning up for trips that are restricted in numbers, or, not meeting someone that you have arranged to get a lift from is unacceptable. We will take steps to exclude persistent offenders.
If you plan on attending an event you only have to click on the “attending” button, only click on “not attending” if you have changed your mind and can no longer make the event.

- +1's now have to be members to rsvp and fully understand the walk they plan to attend..
- As always, please ensure you change your RSVP if you can't make a walk in plenty of time, not showing up without giving notification is not considered acceptable etiquette. If you have a history of non-attendance or cancelling at the last minute, don't bother putting yourself down for this walk.
- There are no toilets on route so make time before meeting/leaving. There's forest along the way!

Ambleside -Lakes District Walking Weekend Saturday 4 to Sunday 5 July.
Ambleside, Ambleside Road, United Kingdom, GBThis invite is to secure rsvp attendance so we have correct numbers attending from both Scottish and English groups for walks planned...Please only rsvp if your coming as numbers limited.
Joining up with my English walking group, the idea is for both groups to come together for social walking fun with the choice of 2 walks on the Saturday and 2 walks on the Sunday before heading home in the afternoon.
Walks will be posted separately to rsvp on those confirming rsvp here -
Saturday's walks - Both start at 9.50am Ambleside.
Dave's walk is a A grade, hard walk doing the Horseshoe 10mlsMy walk will be offering a medium B/C grade alternative walk up Wansfell Pike/Troutbeck, beer garden pub stop with fantastic scenery all around.
Dave will be doing another A Grade hard walk Sunday and I'll be doing circular easier walk from Langdale to Ambleside on route before heading home. Walkers will need to be physically fit for walks.
Walks will be posted in June to rsvp individually. This rsvp is to confirm numbers for Ambelside rsvp's walks 1st.
If your bringing your dog, they will need to be behaved and on a lead at all times due to lambing season.You are responsible for booking and paying for your accommodation in or around Ambleside or you could go a bit further out to camp at the Great Langdale Campsite Lake District | National Trust, Its entirely up to you as I don't arrange your accommodation/transport.
Here's to another great weekend in the Lakes and meeting new people from all about.
