Welcome to Edinburgh Young Walkers (EYW), an Edinburgh walking group for people in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
We have an active member-led walks programme with walks organised most weekends, and a weekend away most months. Our walks are a mix of hill walks, including Munros and Corbetts, and always popular lower level outings – so whether you’re new to walking, or never far from the mountains, we’ll happily welcome you!
On the social side, we have a pub night every month, with additional events through the year, including the annual Xmas night out, wine tastings, boat trips and dinners to name a few!
EYW is a Ramblers Group and we encourage you to get membership to fully enjoy what the club has to offer. You are welcome to sign up to our website and participate in up to 3 trial walks for free to decide whether this is right for you. All members are expected to uphold our Code of Conduct, which reflects the Ramblers values.
Ramblers made a video of us that is worth checking out. We also regularly post photos and videos from our recent adventures on our Instagram.
Hope to see you on a hill soon!
