Overview

5 miles short Introductory walk, leaving from Balerno High School bus stop (serviced by a no 44 Lothian bus) and walking a circular route to Harlaw Reservoir.

What to bring

A drink and snack for a short mid morning break. Something to sit on the grass in case it's wet. A seating mat or bin liner/shopping bag will suffice. Hopefully we will find seats but not always dry.

What to wear

Waterproof walking shoes or trainers with a tread incase it's muddy. You may also wish to bring a walking pole if you use one.

We regret no dogs are permitted on our walks. Please contact walk leader to register attendance
