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.
