Culter Hillwalking Club is based in Peterculter, a few miles west of Aberdeen but has active members from as far as Stonehaven, Banchory and Alford. The Club organises walks usually on the first Sunday of each month, and on the Monday mid-month. The Sunday events also offer a separate Saunter, a shorter, slower walk with less altitude gain. In the full summer months the main Long Walk takes in a Munro, and a “Short Walk” based in the same area is offered. Car pooling at Peterculter is the normal method of transport to walk locations which tends to be mostly less than one hour's drive away. A few times each year a walk is supported by hired coach transport from Peterculter. The Club does not walk where or when ice axe and crampons might be required.
The Club arranges a few summer Long Weekends (three nights away) at more distant walking areas, and locally some Additional Events from First Aid or navigation training days to an annual club restaurant dinner. An AGM is held in February and a walks' programme planning meeting in October.
As an introduction interested walkers are offered two free walks before deciding whether to join the Club for the year. Additional information about the club and reports and photographs of past walks are accessible from this website and the Club's Facebook page.
Club memberships does attract discounts on the purchase of a range of items at local outdoor sports retail outlets.
