Glasgow HF Home

Welcome to the website of Glasgow HF Outdoor Club ( Founded 1917 ).

We are a Scottish walking and hillwalking club which has been in continuous existence for over 90 years. The club was started as many others were at that time, as a reaction to the very unhealthy industrial conditions of city living.

The club has no political or religious affiliations of any kind, and all are welcome to join, although we regret that any young person under 18 cannot attend club walks.

The club membership is currently around 230, and we walk almost every weekend throughout the year, Saturdays and Sundays.

Please read the "How to join" page before attending a walk and also for a recommended kit list.

Glasgow HF is affiliated to the Mountaineering Council of Scotland

Programme

A club programme of walks and activities is made up covering each six month period of each year, i.e the "summer" and "winter" programmes, and this is sent to you when you join.

The usual turnout for any particular walk/climb is about 8 to 15 members, on each of the three walk/climbs, which are organised every weekend, with an arranged leader for every trip. Members cars are used for transport, with car space being maximised to keep costs down, and help limit damage to the environment.

In addition to the walks programme, the club also runs it's own map reading and GPS instruction courses for club members, and has a programme of social events throughout the winter months.

Bus Trips

We also have bus trips from October to March, as well as occasional Saturday bus trips . There are also organised weekend trips for the three major annual public holidays, usually staying at SHYA hostels, though some members and friends may prefer staying at B&B instead.
