On the last
Saturday of each month, (weather permitting), we organise
minibus travel to a mountain area in Scotland. Most expeditions involve
walking up at least
one Munro and 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 God's creation.
Additional walks may be planned throughout the year.
See below for the walks that are planned ahead and get in touch
if you want to participate.
Please note:
Hill walking, particularly on YMCA walks, is a strenuous
activity and, at times, dangerous! It should only be
undertaken by:
1. People
who are physically fit
2. People
who are not afraid of heights
3. People
who are experienced in walking Scottish hills
4. People
who are well equipped (water proofs, boots, etc)
If you are in any
doubt as to the nature of hill walking then our programme is
most likely not for you. However, do contact us to discuss
further.

The calendar of planned walks for 2009 below is a draft and will
be finalised in December 2008. Please email comments to Mike so
that the finalised calendar matches the requirements of the
majority of group. The walks in 2009 are predominantly
aimed at completing regions we've walked in previously.
Would be good to know if people prefer Friday evening stop-overs
to alleviate the 5.00am wake-up call. Get in touch.... |
