The Kilbryde Hike

The Kilbryde Hike The Kilbryde Hike run by The Boys' Brigade. Come and join the adventure! A 'main hike' team consists of young people with at least one being 15+ years old.

The Kilbryde Hike is a competitive challenge hike for young people aged 11-18 taking place over a weekend in June. Travelling in teams of three over a course of around 30 miles over the two days, boys and girls must be self-sufficient and navigate between checkpoints over open moorland, forest and countryside in timed sections, with hiking and 'incident' (challenge) points available. The hike is n

ot easy, but with the right training, attitude and preparation, is within the reach of all young people. A 'junior' category team must contain at least one 14-year-old and all others 14 and under. The 'expedition' hike is for younger, less experienced hikers, who take part with an adult leader. Participants must carry their own equipment, including tents, stoves & pots, sleeping bag, food, clothing etc.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Derek Brownlie. Derek and the Brownlie family started the Kilbryde Hike back in 1969 and played a key part in its success for over 50 years.

Derek always made himself available on the weekend of the hike to help out in the background with many of the unseen jobs, moving equipment about, making sure no teams got lost and overseeing checkpoints were running smoothly.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all Derek’s family and friends at this sad time.

Derek Brownlie, 59, passed away on Sunday and his family and beloved football club have spoken of their heartbreak
