Member Only Clubroom Night - Project 282 Film and Q&A with Emily Scott
We’re hoping to bring members together again and re-open the clubrooms. To celebrate we’re hosting a film night and we’re hoping to see you there! Book via the ESC website
The Film
In the Summer of 2018, Emily Scott successfully climbed all 282 Munros in one continuous solo and self-propelled round. She covered over 4,800km with over 198,000m ascent and raised over £3,000 for mountain charities in the process.
A film, "Project 282" gives an insight into this incredible adventure.
Emily has kindly agreed to show the film in the clubrooms and do a Q&A! Emily used to be a full-time chartered accountant in London but she’s now a ski instructor in the winter and has also worked for travel companies hosting treks in the Alps. She lives in Edinburgh currently, but is heading back to the Alps in November to work the season.

NAVIGATION SKILLS

We had an excellent day in the pentlands on Saturday learning more about navigation.

We split into ability groups and learnt everything from the basics like how to rotate the maps as we walked round cones, understanding contours and other features on the hill right up to pacing and estimating travel times.

The best school day ever!

Pentlands Navigation Skills 28 August 2021
(members only)
Are you a keen hill walker, rambler, munro bagger or ski tourer who needs to know what to do when the going gets tough, the weather comes in and you're not quite sure which direction you should be going in? Come along to our Pentlands Navigation Skills day to learn the basics.

Olly Stephenson is a keen outdoor enthusiast with various mountain training qualifications. He will introduce the course in a fun and engaging manner to make the best of the day. The maximum group size is six and cost will be £50/head. This is a discount of over 20% from the normal course price of £65.

Clothing, footwear, food and drink for the day, plus a map of the Pentlands, a map case, a compass, a notepad and a pen (I can lend map and compass if necessary). Note this course takes place entirely outdoors. We'll be walking 3-5 miles and ascending about 500m.

Calling all #cycle enthusiasts...again!!!
Tour de South Queensferry: Part Deux
Sat Jul 31 2021, 10:30am GMT

Following a rather washed out attempt on 19th June we thought we would give this one more go!

If you enjoy a leisurely cycle that takes in some beautiful views with a rewarding beer or 2 at the end then this is the event for you!

We will be starting in Roseburn Park next to the iconic Murrayfield Stadium (10.30am) and make our way along the cycle path to South Queensferry where there will be opportunities to enjoy a well earned ice cream, coffee, or refreshing beverage of your choice before making our way back to Bruntsfield Links where a cool refreshing beer or G&T awaits.

The aim is to cycle in 2 or 3 groups, depending on numbers, and for each group to be of a similar standard so that those that enjoy a slightly quicker pace can set off in one group and those that enjoy a slightly leisurely place can set off in another.

We will, of course, be complying with current covid restrictions and are therefore are limited to a maximum of 30 people with social distancing rules in place at all times. Please ensure that you have safety helmets and necessary tools for the (hopefully) unlikely event that you get a puncture.

If you are interested in taking part please register your interest so that we have the names and contact details of all those attending.
