Walking Group
 
Two walks a month are planned, one of these walks could involve some cross-country walking but these will be mainly on paths or tracks.

For most walks we will meet at the Kirk at 9.30am on Saturday morning.

Should the weather be poor for a cross-country walk then we will probably change the planned walk for a tarmac based walk on the date.

Good walking boots are recommended but walking shoes and trainers will be suitable for many of the walks. Appropriate footwear for each walk will be advised.

Waterproofs or rainwear should be carried as we can never be sure of our weather.

Walks will be normally be 4 to 8 miles (2 - 5 hours) and brief descriptions of the walks will be found on the Kirk website or by phoning Fergus Stewart at 613083.

A packed lunch is suggested as the walks will run through lunch time into the afternoon in many cases.

Any suggestions for future walks are welcomed.

While I will try to make myself available to lead the walks this may not be possible throughout the year and other members of the Group may be asked to lead walks from time to time.

Please note that the Church, the Walking Group or the leader of each walk cannot accept liability for any accident which may occur on any group walk. Personal Accident Insurance is the responsibility of each walker.

Note: Persons coming on the Walks do so at their own risk.

Walking Group - Get up close to a wind turbine - the last walk of the current session will be a 7.5 - 8 mile circular walk along tracks at the Whitelee Windfarm on Eaglesham Moor on Saturday 12th June. The tracks are quite stony so comfortable shoes / boots are recommended. Bring a packed lunch with you for a stop at Turbine 57.
Meet at the Kirk at 9.30am.
