This board is for meeting up, whether it means arranging group walking trips, or just looking for a partner for your next walk or sharing a lift. There is also a club directory.
Feel free to use this board to arrange to meet up with other walkers, either individually or for a particular walk, or for a larger get together over a weekend. The usual precautions are advised when arranging to meet individuals you have not previously met.
Please note that meetups are NOT arranged by Walkhighlands and everyone who arranges to meet for a walk using this board is responsible for their own safety. Please ensure you do not attempt a walk beyond your own abilities.
WALK HIGHLANDS MEET SPRING 2020

Sad but probably the correct decision. As I said on Facebook I'd suggest rather than refunding small amounts of money, (once you've made sure you're not out of pocket for the deposit of course) either donate the rest to the hostel or to the local Mountain Rescue team. Anything we can do to help small businesses and rescue services...

Yes, thanks to you and Malky for that. I'm going to do the same. I really do feel for these tiny hostel businesses. It doesn't seem possible that they can survive unless the government support is deployed immediately.
Hope it doesn't carry on until summer....

This could easily continue for 18 to 24 months.

Such a shame young Ak- had hoped to pop along for an evening. Absolutely the correct decision. TGO also just been cancelled, so thoughts with hostels, campsites, local businesses, etc.

Not that I could make it because of work still sad that the meets been cancelled but of course completely understand it is the right thing to do. Very sad for the hostel (which is a great place to stay), and the many others like it who will be in a similar situation.
