Ptarmigan Mountaineering Club

We are an Edinburgh-based mountaineering and hillwalking club. Our main activity is a monthly Sunday bus outing, up to the Highlands or occasionally to the Borders or the Lake District. Click Meets.

We give ourselves freedom to do our own routes at our own pace. We can leave and rejoin the bus at any point on the way. This opens up many through routes and variations compared to circular walks when using a car. And someone else takes the strain of driving. The club notes all the day's groups (minimum 3 people) and routes. Our monthly newsletter suggests a variety of walking routes.

Our members have a wide range of ages, abilities and interests, from hill-running and serious climbing to low-level walking, bird-watching and botany. We have a wealth of experience, including several who have completed the Munros, Corbetts and even Grahams.

New members are welcome and start as guests without any commitment. To book on a bus, please contact Bookings. For general information phone Christine Heward on 01631 565 895, or email Enquiries.
