Sunday Walk Trips

Sunday walk trips travel as far as Kinlochleven (Mamores), Glenshee and the Borders, anywhere up to 3 hours drive away. Most walks leave Paisley at 8am promptly and the first and last walks of the year at 9am. On trips from late April to Early October the walks normally returns to Paisley around 8pm.

Apart from beginners paired off with an experienced hillwalker, the Club does not have a “Leader” as such on any of its walks. The Club runs a walk to a particular area and “suggests” which walk should be undertaken. Most members on the walk will climb the suggested hill/mountain. The suggested walk would normally involve the ascent of Corbetts and Munros. However, no-one is pressured to outstretch their capabilities and normally there will be an alternative walk available on each trip.

It is the ethos of the Club that all members should become self-sufficient and skilled in map reading. To this end, the Club Secretary normally runs an annual map-reading and associated-skills weekend for new members.

The grid references below link to the OS Map website to give an overview of the summit map (opens in a new tab).

Note: If you are using the OS website to view the map of a grid reference a quirk to be aware of is that it displays the grid reference in the format [aa nnn nnn] where a is a letter and n is a number and the groups are separated by a space but only accepts grid reference searches as [aannnnnn] – without spaces. For example a search for grid reference NN233007 shows the summit area of Cnoc Coinnich whereas NN 233 007 shows a point just North of Porongurup national park in South West Australia.
