The Club's logo depicts a family group in the hills; this is an attempt to illustrate a the breadth of ages and abilities that the Club caters for. Walks are where possible arranged so that within the area being visited there is an alternative route to suit varying levels of experience and fitness, from the "hard men & women" seeking to reach the high tops in wild and inaccessible places, to families looking for more gentle, low level walking. OIther aspects of mountain sports are also catered for: a number of members go climbing, with excursions to various crags and sea cliffs in the summer and practice sessions on the climbing wall at Peterhead leisure centre in the winter. Snow and ice climbing is also enjoyed by some when conditions permit. A number of members make responsible use of bicycles in the hills to extend the distance they can cover.

Indoor meetings are held monthly on the second Monday of every month, at The Station Hotel, Ellon. These meetings generally take the form of a slide presentation and talk on some topic of interest either from an acknowledged expert in topics such as wildlife or geology, or members telling of recent trips to the hills  - from the Cairngorms to the Andes. However, in the summer months walks are organised for the evening  meetings, this might be to one of our local hills, Bennachie or Clach na Ben, or a walk along some of the dramatic Buchan coastline.

A full programme of outdoor trips is arranged with at least one meeting a month, usually on the Sunday following the indoor meeting. Members meet in the Community Centre car park and a minibus is often hired to transport everyone to the start of the walk. In the past this facility has allowed the Club to undertake some of the classic through walks, like the Lairig Ghru, by using two buses and handing over the keys when the two parties cross halfway. The Cairngorms, Deeside and Donside are our normal venues because of their proximity, but in recent years weekend "bothy" meets have been arranged in lMay and October; a block booking of a bunkhouse is made, usually somewhere on the  west coast, which gives a comfortable weather proof base from which to explore more remote hills, often in their first winter coat. Closer to home,

As well as providing organised meetings and trips to the hills, the club provides a friendly environment in which to get to know the countryside a little better. For less experienced walkers there is always someone willing to take the time to pass on some of their considerable knowledge and experience.
