  1. We are off (from Sydney Aus) to Scotland (Lewis) on a family visit in
    September. Five years ago I did two or three Munros and found that it was
    not a bad way to spend a day. Rather than do them on my own (my wife does
    not walk) I was wondering if there are clubs or groups that I could tag up
    with during the first few weeks of September.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

  2. I'm not a member of the Ramblers but if you do a search for Ramblers
    Scotland, contact them, they may put you in the right direction.
    There are groups all over Scotland and I'm sure some will be climbing a
    Munro or two during your stay.

    There are numerous hill walking clubs but unless one of them reads this
    post I think the Rambler option would be a start.

    Not I, because I'm too far away; however this sounds like a
    golden opportunity for an Expedition for all those urw-ers oop
    north who keep complaining that we never Expedit in Scotland.

    If only Lewis weren't quite so far away...
    (and as Andrew pointed out, without anything approaching a Munro
    closer than a 4 hour ferry ride distant - not that that matters
    particularly)

    Indeed. I have just been told that we are staying in Skye from the 3rd to
    the 10th of September. I have bought a copy of the LP Walking in Scotland
    and am reading the chapter on Skye with some interest.
