Our aim is to enjoy the outdoors, exploring less frequented routes with time to enjoy views and points of historical or natural interest. The activity level falls between Hill and Glen Walking Groups, with duration varying according to season. Total ascent/descent is about 2000 ft and distance 10 miles. Walks are not guided by an individual and all members participate in the running of the group. Members are expected to plot their own route maps and be able to navigate with map and compass. Opportunities to become more confident in doing this will be available. On most of our outings we tend to have 8-12 members attending.

Like all the walking groups, we plan to walk throughout the year, adopting a 3-week schedule over the summer and a 4-week schedule in the winter.
