Mountaineering Taster - Pentlands Walk…

Come and join the Heriot-Watt Mountaineering Club!

Pentlands taster walk - We will be heading to the pentlands Hill for a short walk. It is a great opportunity for those who are new to the outdoors in hiking/mountaineering and wish to try out before joining the club.

Meet 10am at the Oriam reception if you have signed-up, otherwise you are welcome to meet us at Hillend Ski resort car park at 11:15am if making you're own way there.

 Please come with a pair of footwear you are comfortable walking in (preferably walking boots/hiking trainers if possible). The club has a small stock of boots from our gear shed if needed.

Please pack a small rucksack/Daysack of essentials for being outdoors as follows:

- Bottled water and/or a flask of a hot beverage.

- Warm layers (for wind/colder weather).

- Waterproofs (Jacket and trousers for wet weather). The club has spares we can provide if rain is expected on the day.

- Food (A packed lunch and/or snacks).

- Mobile phone (fully charged) incase we need to make contact.

- Any medical essentials that you carry on a day-to-day basis (I.e. inhaler/epipen).

If at any point you feel uncomfortable in the outdoors or feel you can't continue on the walk, please speak to a member of the club committee.
