Who we are
The Club was formed in 1984 and runs a regular
programme of varied hillwalking meets. It is
affiliated to the
Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS).
Membership of the club is open to anyone who
is sympathetic to the Christian faith. Members come from all over
Scotland – and some from
England .
What we do
The Club organises weekend meets
about once a month. There is often a day
walk as well, on a Satuarday, usually close to the
Central Bel. We
walk mainly in Scotland; very occasionally we go
further afield. Check the current
programme for information on events. For
information on the grading of our walks and
clothing and equipment required click
here.
On weekend meets, the group
normally meets on the Friday night at a youth
hostel, mountaineering club hut, Christian Centre
or self-catering accommodation.
We aim to have a time of informal worship together
at some stage during weekends and sometimes go to
a local church on Sunday morning.
We have some longer meets eg over
Bank Holidays, Easter, New Year and usually a week
in early summer.
Wherever possible, we try to share
transport to meets. The event leader will try to
put you in touch with someone else who is
travelling from your area.
Where we
go
Examples of recent notices for typical club meets
Raeburn Hut (between Dalwhinnie and Laggan)
Grades 2, 3
A welcome return to this roadside mountaineering
club hut, some 5 miles north of Dalwhinnie.
This is a convenient base for a wide range of
hills. Drumochter lies to the south with the
Monadhliath to the north; Creag Meagaidh and the
Ardverikie Hills are to the west with the
Cairngorms to the east. It is also possible to
walk directly from the hut over some lower and
rougher hills.
Trossachs
Grades 3, 5
We have booked some
places in a very good and comfy independent
hostel near Callander for the weekend.
Ben Venue, Ben Ledi, Benvane, Ben Each
are all very near and if you fancy some Munros,
then Ben Lomond
, Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’Chroin can be reached
too from this central location.
Alternatively, you could try something
different, since the hostel has bikes for hire
and there are forest tracks nearby.
You can find full details of what
events are coming up at our current
programme.
If you can’t make a full weekend,
it is often possible to come for the Saturday or
Sunday only, but you must let the event leader
know!
