Going

Panorama is a Glasgow-based social hiking/walking/hillwalking group for queer 20- and 30-somethings. Our goal is to foster a sense of community and belonging amongst our members, whilst exploring the great outdoors. 

We host walks at a variety of difficulty levels, and everyone is encouraged to find a walk that suits you and join in, even if you have no prior hiking experience. Most walks are on weekends and are located within two hours of Glasgow – details on public transportation and/or ride sharing will be included in each event.

This group is aimed at members of the LGBTQIA+ community in their 20s and 30s; however, allies are welcome and the age guidelines are not strict (but please no under 18s). Dogs are also welcome on walks unless otherwise specified!

All participants are responsible for their own safety at all our walks and events. Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring food and water with you. These are not guided walks, and the walks do not have leaders. Navigation and decision-making during the walks are group responsibilities.

Panorama is a Mountaineering Scotland Affiliated Club.

COSTS

New members may attend up to three events for free, after which you will be asked to pay a membership fee of £30/year (2026/27). The bulk of this fee goes to Mountaineering Scotland, which provides liability and personal accident insurance, access to mountain skills courses, and a variety of discounts on outdoor gear. The remainder covers fees for running the club, such as our bank account fees.

HOSTS

We would love to have as many members as possible hosting walks – if you are interested in hosting, please reach out to an admin! Once you have become a full paying member of Panorama, we’ll be happy to set you up as a new host.

Hosts are NOT walk leaders. Your responsibility as host is to choose the time and place for the walk and set up the event in Heylo, including details on difficulty, gear recommended, how to get there, etc. You are NOT responsible for anyone’s safety during the walk apart from your own. Navigation and decision-making during the walks are group responsibilities. As such, you are not required to have any walk leader or mountain leader training or qualifications. Basically – you have organised a group of friends (or soon to be friends) going on a walk, and that’s it.
