A rather portentious name for a handful of people from a pub who go walking up the hills from time to time. Nothing over strenuous, but it does a good enough job of making our muscles hurt, and occasionally getting us sunburn. Or wind burn. Or snow blindness.
It's Aidan, Dave and Tony, ... (with a late appearence from Kenny)

Fed up with long walks from the car park to the mountain? Get a bike. Or even better, rent a bike from somewhere near the car park. |
Apart from having a good day out, the main “project” in hand is to teach Dave, our not-so-illustrious “navigator” how to navigate. The astute observer will see the name of “Cock Cairn” on the map, some distance NE of our target on Mount Keen. Lesson learned: pay as much attention to the map and compass when in woodland as you would on the moors in horizontal sleet.
