20th Anniversary Dinner
We hope to arrange this during an evening on the first week in September, possible Tuesday or Friday at Shotts Golf Course. We hope to invite anyone who has walked with us at any time during the 20 years. Keep in touch.
Please note that we walk as a group of friends. It is your own responsibility to ensure that you are properly equipped for the walks, and undertake walks within your own capability. Advice can be given on equipment, but generally suitable footwear is required on all walks. With the usual Scottish weather waterproofs should be carried (coat, trousers). It is a good idea to take dry clothes, some of which may be left in the car. An individual first aid kit could be handy. Remember, temperature drops and wind increases with increase in height, so hat, gloves and extra warm clothing may be required on the hill.
If you are leading, appoint a "back marker". Adjust your speed, or stop frequently, so that you can see the "back marker". The rest of the group should stay between the leader and back marker so that we can be sure that no-one has been "lost". This is especially important in mist
Please note that where meals are arranged, you must notify Margaret Glen at 01698 386028 or jeglen@talktalk.net at LEAST a week beforehand of your intention of going on the walk.
Walks leave Bonkle Church car park at 2.00 pm on Sundays and 9.00 am Saturday or Tuesday unless otherwise stated. If you wish to join walk at another point please phone the leader at 8 am. Also if weather is "iffy'" please phone leader in case walk is changed or cancelled. If weather too wild for hills, alternative may be arranged.
