Hartfell Hill Walkers

Welcome to Hartfell Hill Walkers.  We aim to cater for all abilities with walks in the region varying from leisurely trails to strenuous days out in the hills.  Would you like to take your walking to the next level or are you an experienced hill walker wanting to explore some less well-trodden routes?

We love the hills and trails and aim to have enjoyable group walks and days out at a relaxed pace with no pressure and no-one ever left behind.   

What we have to offer:

Weekends - Saturday, once a month, long hill walk

Midweek - Wednesday evenings, Spring/Summer only, weekly, short hill or trail walk

COVID-19

Please stay at home if you:

  • Have tested positive for Covid-19.
  • You are a household contact of a positive Covid-19 case.
  • Have Covid-19 symptoms.
  • Have been asked to self-isolate at home by the Scottish Government Test and Protect system.

Route details, kit, etc...

Our Walk Co-ordinators will provide details of the route, difficulty and terrain, kit suggestions, etc, in advance of the meet date.  Our Co-ordinators are not Leaders and do not have Outdoor Leader qualifications; all walk participants will be expected to be responsible for themselves and should make sure they are satisfied they have sufficient information, kit and ability to complete the route safely.  It is the responsibility of the individual participant to decide whether to rely on the advice or navigation skills of other group members/participants.  

Hartfell Hill Walkers is not affiliated to any particular organisation although the club does have it's own public liability insurance.  Non-members attending walks are not covered by this.  If you are already a member of an organisation such as Scottish Mountaineering or the Ramblers Association, there may be cover under their membership perks.  Links to these organisations are provided below if you wish to check or find out more.  

Contact details:

If you would like to find out more about the group or any of the walks, you can contact our Walk Co-ordinators by emailing hillwalkers.hartfellhrc@gmail.com or message us via the Hartfell Hill Running Club Facebook public group.  We also have a WhatsApp group for arrangements, last minute changes, etc so if you would like to be added to the group, let us have your mobile number and we'lll send you an invite.
