Extract from Club Rules

New Members

New members are very welcome. We pride ourselves in being a friendly club, and hope that you will find us so. However we have to stipulate that there is no option to continue to walk with the club on any excursion after the two introductory walks, unless the Treasurer or Secretary has received an application to join the club and payment of the first subscription.

Meeting Place

The meeting place for all Saturday walks is the car park on the Glenurquhart Road side of the Highland Council Office Buildings.

The meeting place for Sunday Walks is the Cathedral Car Park, unless otherwise stated in the programme.

Safety

Members are ask to ensure that they are fit for all walks they intend to undertake.

It is recommended that before attempting ‘A’ walks, several ‘B’ walks should be made to confirm fitness.

Be aware that if you are unfit, you risk your own safety and that of others on the walk.

Boots are essential for all ‘A’, ‘B’, and for ‘C’ walks.

The following equipment is recommended:

Suitable footware, waterproof jacket and trousers, gaiters, rucksack, spare sweater, spare socks, headgear, food ,

drink, gloves, whistle, survival bag, walking stick, high energy food.

(Jeans are not recommended)

Members are expected to take care of their own SAFETY as no liability can be accepted by the Club. Members and

prospective members are expected to follow the rules of the Club.

 

Dogs

No dogs are allowed on any club walks.

Transport – Cars

Members use their own cars or share other members cars. We try to take as few cars as possible both for economy and ease of parking at our destination. It is hoped that car owners will make their cars available as necessary so that everyone takes a fair share in providing transport.

Petrol costs are shared equally between car occupants.

It should be noted that after a days walking most walkers like to make a refreshment stop on the way home.
