The Club consists of a group of enthusiasts who meet regularly throughout the year to participate in a program. of strolls and rambles in this wonderfully scenic and interesting area.
Non-members and visitors are always welcome and may find that the walks provide increased interest as local people have a wealth of knowledge of the area - history, wildlife, geography and geology to mention but a few topics.
- Car sharing and transport, contact Leader to arrange a seat.
- There is a charge for this transport service but no Leader fee.
The Callander Ramblers programme offers four types of walk.
- Stroll - Relatively easy, mainly level and on country lanes, tracks or good paths. Strolls are on Wednesdays at 9:30 am.
- Ramble - Longer walks, mainly on tracks or paths, often cross-country or with some gradients. Rambles are on Wednesdays at 9:30 am or Saturdays at 8:30am .
- Hill - Ascent to a summit, mainly on paths. Lower hills in winter, higher in summer. Hills are on Saturdays at 8:30am .
- Long Distance Path (LDP) - Similar difficulty to a Ramble. Saturdays at 8:30am
All walks start from Ancaster Square.
Come prepared with suitable clothing, footwear and a packed lunch.
Weather conditions may occasionally mean a planned walk is cancelled, postponed, or replaced by an easier one.Please phone the walk leader if the forecast is poor.
Callander Rambling Club have the following outings arranged. There is
no leader fee.
