Who we are
The Scottish Christian Hillwalking Club brings together Christians from different parts of the country to enjoy hillwalking
and fellowship amidst God's wonderful creation. We
warmly welcome non-Christians to meets.
What we do
The Club which was formed in 1984, organises weekend meets
about once a month. There is often a day
walk as well, on a Saturday, usually close to the
Central Belt. 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 contact will try to
put you in touch with someone else who is
travelling from your area.

Facebook page.
Where we
go
You can find full details of what
events are coming up at our current
programme.
Previous meets have included a weekend in
Roybridge, a week in Ullapool and a day walk
climbing Ben Vane.
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 contact
know!
Affiliation
The Club is affiliated to the
Mountaineering Council of Scotland and operate
under their best practice guidance. This is
available on their website at
www.mcofs.org.uk/safety-liability-clubs.asp.
In particular; attention is drawn to the
participation statement of the Union
Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme
(International Climbing and Mountaineering
Organisation) which states that:
Climbing, hillwalking and mountaineering are
activities with a danger of personal injury or
death. Participants in these activities should be
aware of and accept the risks, and be responsible
for their own actions and involvement.
