Ramblers Scotland has challenged groups to do something special to celebrate 60 Years of the Ramblers. Our challenge is to climb up beside the spectacular Grey Mare's Tail and to explore the peaceful shores of the beautiful Loch Skeen.
We will climb together, but there will be an option for stronger walkers to go on to the summit of White Coomb, and enjoy long views from its summit.
Hillwalking gear required. There will be a lunch stop and drinks stops as required.
Circular walk, grade C+, moderate. Extension to White Coombe: B+, strenuous.
Hiking boots and poles are recommended.
Walk leader: Murray
Estimated duration: 2 hours / extension to White Coombe: 4 - 4.5 hours
Maximum number of walkers: n/a
