A luvly walk with the Fri gang today! 😀

A circular route from Scone to Macduff’s Monument, then on to the Obelisk, before heading back via Murrayshall Golf Course. Gorgeous views along the Tay Estuary and across to the Paps of Fife made it all the more special. 🌿⛰️

Another guid walk from Steve! 👏😀👍

🥾 A/B Walkers take on Ben Vorlich! ⛰️

A lovely day out climbing Ben Vorlich at Loch Lomond, with amazing views to reward us along the way! 🌞 Although not the highest of mountains, it’s certainly a tough and demanding climb, with plenty to test the legs. It was a little chilly at the top, but the views made every step worthwhile! 😍

The long walk back to the bus was made a little easier with our Alphabet Challenger, leaving a few others on the hill rather confused! 😂 There was even a bit of singing along the way to keep us going. 🎶

Another fantastic day in the hills, great company, plenty of laughs and memories made. Well done, everyone! 👏🥾⛰️

🥾🌿 Cruach Tairbeirt to Inveruglas!🌿🥾

What a lovely day out for our
C walkers! 😍 Beautiful scenery, stunning views and plenty of fresh air along the Three Lochs Way. 🏞️

The only little challenge? A few boggy bits underfoot! 😂 Let’s just say some of us got a little closer to nature than planned – and the mud was doing its best to keep our boots as souvenirs! 🥾💦

But a bit of mud never stopped our merry band! Plenty of smiles, lovely views and good company made it another cracking walk. 💚

Fancy joining us for the next adventure?
Bring your walking boots, a sense of humour and, just in case, your best mud-squelching skills! 🤣👣

🥾⛰️ Fancy making new friends and exploring the great outdoors? 💚

Glenrothes Hill Walkers Club is looking for new members!

We are a hill walking club, and a good level of fitness, along with previous walking and hill walking experience, is essential. Our walks can involve tough and demanding days in challenging conditions, so it’s important to be prepared, have the appropriate kit and clothing, and have some basic navigation skills or be willing to learn.

Please note that we do not allow dogs on our walks, as we hire a bus to transport members to and from our walking locations.

Hill walking can be very rewarding, but it’s important to understand the demands involved and be properly equipped. Please take a look at our website for more information about the club, our walks, pace and what’s expected of members.

Thanks! 😊

🥾 B WALKERS TAKE ON CREAG MEAGAIDH!🏔️

A few photos from our B Walkers out tackling Creag Meagaidh!👏

Of course, because they’re Scottish hillwalkers, they obviously ordered the **full luxury weather package..🌧️💨😂

A wee bit of rain, a bit of cloud and probably just enough wind to question all their life choices! 🤣 But did that stop them? Absolutely not!

Well done to everyone who got out there, kept smiling and got the job done. 💪👏

📸 A few snaps from the day — although we’re not sure if that’s rain on the camera lens or just the tears of regret! 😂

Great effort, B Walkers!👏🥾⛰️

🥾 A Group vs Mother Nature 🌧️💨

The plan today was the Creag Meagaidh circuit… but Mother Nature clearly had other ideas! 😂

We managed to get Cairn Liath in the bag, but the attempt to reach the second Munro turned into more of an extreme survival challenge than a hill walk! 💨🌧️

With wind strong enough to blow a few of us off our feet, some members resorted to crawling for a bit — because apparently walking was just too mainstream! 🤣

There was even talk of putting up emergency shelters and wondering whether a helicopter would actually manage to get up to us in those winds! 🚁😂

And as for the feet… absolutely full of water, Trench foot was starting to feel like a genuine possibility! 🦶💦

So, after a good dose of common sense (and realising we weren't actually invincible 😆), we called it a day and headed back down.
One Munro safely bagged was plenty!

All joking aside, days like today are a good reminder that you always need to be prepared in the hills. Conditions can change quickly, and knowing when to turn around is just as important as reaching the summit.

👏 Hats off to Keith and Steve W for some excellent navigation in some seriously challenging conditions — keeping everyone on the right track when visibility and weather were doing their best to make things difficult.

A tough day, plenty of laughs, one Munro in the bag… and everyone safely back down. That's a successful hill day in our book!🥾⛰️

🥾 ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR NEXT WALK? ⛰️
A little reminder from Glenrothes Hillwalkers Club about making sure you’ve got the right kit with you when heading into the hills.

☀️ Summer or ❄️ winter, the Scottish weather can change quickly, so it’s always better to be prepared!

And one VERY important extra 👇
👕 BRING DRY CLOTHES FOR AFTER THE WALK — especially if there’s been rain. There’s nothing worse than getting back to the bus soaking wet! 😂

Check out our handy kit list and make sure you’ve got the essentials before setting off.

Be prepared • Stay safe • Enjoy the hills 🥾⛰️
