6 miles.  C walk.  No limit to numbers

The walk is very flat, up Blinkbonny path  then down to WOL. Along to Spylaw Park. From there we will go down to the Church and enter the WOL via the newly reopened walk way and steps. Continue WOL to Slateford returning over the other side of WOL to Campbell Park and Cars.

Will be muddy in parts. Gaiters and poles if desired.

Please WhatsApp or text the leader if you would like to book a place on this walk with your name and mobile telephone number, and advise if you have a medical condition relevant to your walking. Please also advise if leaving from Currie or meeting at Campbell Park - and if able to drive passengers.

We regret that no dogs are allowed on our walks.
