Overview

Starting from Waverley Train Station we will stroll to Arthurs Seat and walk anti clockwise around it . The only toilets available are in Waverley before we set off .  Some pavement bashing and as much walking on paths as possible . The walk will be at a nice even stroll , no running , rushing , hopping or skipping will be allowed on this occasion ! There is a slight hill to walk up but nothing to steep or strenuous for anyone . Hopefully the weather will be kind and the views will be excellent . Coffee break will be taken a bit earlier than normal .
