On the last Saturday of each month, (weather permitting), we organise minibus travel to a mountain area in Scotland to walk up at least one 'Munro'.  The aim of the programme is to just get away from it all, spend some time in fellowship on the mountains, walking, relaxing and enjoying creation. 

 

We welcome walkers of all ages and experience but stress that walks are undertaken at your own risk and YMCA accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever for those who join a walk.  Walks should only be undertaken by:

1.  People who are physically fit

2.  People who are not afraid of heights

3.  People who are well equipped (water proofs, boots, etc)

4.  People who agree to the MCofS Participation statement:

"Climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death.  Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement."

 

Please do contact us if you would like to join a walk or be added to our mailing list by emailing info@aberdeenymca.org.uk
