Overview

A hard B+ walk from Grey Mare's Tail car park to and around Loch Skene, returning over White Coombe. We have to ford the Tail Burn towards the end of the walk and this is not always possible after heavy rain, in which case the route will be altered.

Edinburgh Group Grade: B+.
Car share,. The cost will be shared equally between the occupants, including driver.

Booking essential, please contact walk leader for timing and walk details
