Walking companions required in the Cowal / Argyll areas.

Walking companions required in the Cowal / Argyll areas.


Postby Stob Binnein » Tue Sep 18, 2012 5:16 pm

Hi all. I'm moving to Dunoon in the near future and I'll be looking for new walking companions in the Cowal / Argyll / Inverclyde area, especially drivers as I don't drive myself. I'm open to all manner of hills, not just Munros, and countryside walks in general, camping etc. I'm an experienced all seasons walker, though I have been away from it for about 6 months but would like to continue my adventures post move to Dunoon. If anyone can help me out please don't hesitate to get in touch and we can hopefully get something arranged.

Cheers.

I'm in Dunoon. Try to get out when I can, local or far away. Any type of hill for me.

If your on Facebook check out Cowal Summit Baggers or Argyll Mountaineering Club. AMC have a website as well.

There's also Cowal Fest in October. A great intro to the area.

Cheers.

Cheers for the info, I've submitted a Facebook friends request to Cowal Summit Baggers (I've actually met a couple of the members, who are friends of my girlfriend) so I'm sure we'll get something arranged.

A few of us spoke about the two at Cruachan. Just don't have a lot of time for the hills just now. Where abouts in Argyll are you Glendave?

Good to see you both on FB ;)
Cheers.
