No group size limitIf you love Scotland (who doesn’t), want to climb some spectacular mountains and enjoy only the best weather, sign up for this spring trip.
Please do be aware that the aim is to undertake a mixture of small and larger mountains, so you should be prepared for strenuous walks and difficult climbs and descents. It is not likely that the terrain allows for leisurely hikes. If you do decide that you are hardcore enough to tackle it though, you are guaranteed to appreciate the remote locations, changing weather and good company of fellow SYW.
We will be based in and around the village of Torridon in SW Scotland, for 7 nights from May 29th to June 5th. Torridon has a small campsite and a hostel. There is also airbnb accommodation in the area but all the accommodation will likely book up soon, which is why I am advertising the trip almost a year in advance.
A car will likely be needed to access the walks but we could look into car sharing where possible.
The plan of walks will take shape as we get closer to the trip and this description will be updated so check it out from time to time.
Any questions, please contact me.
Insurance note: Social events are generally covered by the Ramblers' insurance, but this may not apply to activities that could be seen as higher risk than a walk. Please contact us if you are concerned about liability coverage for this event.
Easy Walks are for anyone who does not have a mobility difficulty or a specific health problem. Comfortable walking shoes or trainers can be worn.
Leisurely Walks are for reasonably fit people with at least a little country walking experience and generally include rural paths.
Moderate Walks are for people with good country walking experience and a good level of fitness. May include some steep paths and be at a brisk pace. Walking boots are recommended, plus layers appropriate to the weather and food/water.
Strenuous Walks are for experienced country walkers with an above average fitness level and may include hills and rough country and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots are essential, as well as bringing suitable clothing for the weather as well as food and water. Those in doubt about their fitness are advised to contact the walk leader in advance. Note that there may be just one element of a walk which elevates it to strenuous - see walk descriptions.
Non-members are welcome to join us for 3 "trial" walks before deciding to join us. Please register in advance so that we know who's coming.
All our walks are graded to give you an idea of what each one will be like. If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short, easy walk first. It's better to find a walk too easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted.
