Welcome to the Big Walks Club Website

The Big Walks Club has been set up by a group of friends, inspired by the Ken Wilson's Big Walks and Classic Climbs books, to help us enjoy the mountain experience.

This site provides information for Club members about expedition dates and venues, as well as reports and photographs from previous trips. Planned trips are given on the Website at Trip List.

Trip Reports are posted on the website as they happen. Trips have included the Cuillin Ridge Traverse, Cairngorm 4000s, Traverse of the Grey Corries, Aonachs and Ben Nevis, Mont Blanc, the GR20 in Corsica, Dolomites Via Ferrata, Mallorca Mountain Trek as well as some classic climbs.

Photos taken from recent trips have be posted immediately after a trip until there is time to complete a full report.

A section giving Useful Links is provided for information on weather and routes.

Please leave an e-mail  message if you want any more information about the routes we have completed or if you would like to join us in the Mountains.  It's great  to hear from like minded souls.

Latest Additions

The latest significant addition trip to be added to the website is a report of an expedition David made to the Cordillera Blanca whilst working in Peru.

A new section covering  Munro bagging exploits has been added and details of the attempt to complete the Munros will be posted as each group of Mountains is completed. 

David, Big Walks Club Webmaster, spent April 2007 to April 2008 working in Lima, Peru. Information on a really interesting and fulfilling year can be found on the One Year in Peru  website.

 

The site is dedicated to the memory of my Dad, John Galsworthy, Group Scout Leader of the 11th Warrington Troop and loving Father, who gave me the skills to climb all the mountains in my life
