⭐️ Walk Reminders ⭐️

We have two walks coming up on Sunday 15th November - a strenuous hillwalk in the Moorfoot Hills and a moderate walk from Haddington.

⛰️ Strenuous ‘A’ walk: Blackhope Scar & the Moorfoots Circular; Distance 11 Miles with 700 metres ascent.
Walk from Gladhouse Reservoir to Hirendean Castle, the Kipps and along the ridge to Blackhope Scar; descend over moorland to Bowheat Rig before an ascent to Dundreich on the return; this route can be very boggy in places so waterproofs are a must.

🌲 Moderate ‘B’ walk: Haddington to Morham Circular; Distance 10 Miles with 100 metres of ascent.
From Haddington, walk to Morham via Lennoxlove, Bolton & Beech Hill; return via Northrig and Seggarsdean Farm. Easy tracks but could be muddy; two short sections of road walking.

Members should contact the walk leader on their programme to book a place; if you’re a non-member & interested in joining us, please send a private message via Facebook.

Today’s walk from Gullane to North Berwick began in dreich weather which happily improved during the course of the day. At 11.00 we paused for a minute's silence to reflect on those who had paid the ultimate sacrifice, with an oystercatcher's occasional plaintive peep the only sound. Bird sounds accompanied us for much of the walk, including those from a spectacular fly over by a skein of geese heading towards Aberlady Bay.

Eighteen walkers had a fabulous day for their walk in the Pentlands today: the sun was out & the skies were clear over Edinburgh, giving the group some spectacular views. A grand day out!

⭐️ Walk Reminders ⭐️

We have a choice of two walks coming up on Sunday 1st November - a moderate grade walk along the Fife Coastal Path, or a strenuous hill-walk in the Pentlands:

⛰️ Strenuous ‘A’ walk: Pentland Hills Circular; Distance 8 Miles with 540m ascent.
From Swanston, ascend Capelaw, Allermuir & Caerketton Hills; good hill tracks, paths & minor roads, with several steep ascents & descents (so not suitable for most beginners).

🌲 Moderate ‘B’ walk: North Queensferry Linear; Distance 10 Miles with 180m of ascent.
Walk from North Queensferry to Aberdour via Dalgety Bay, returning most of the way by bus. Mix of tarmac, pavements & rough tracks. Remember your bus pass if you have one!

🥾🥾Walk Report:

We had a great turnout of seventeen walkers on Sunday’s walk from Faseny in the Lammermuirs, which is pretty good considering many of the group are in Aviemore! The weather was perfect & they had a brilliant day on the moors, with three hills climbed.

18/10/2026

Our other group walked from Aviemore to Pityoulish, Kinchurdy and back by the Speyside Way.

18/10/2026

Eleven of the group enjoyed a gorgeous walk around Rothiemurchus Forest & Loch an Eilein today. Couldn’t ask for better weather in October! 😎
