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 .
Anyone who wishes to start the walk with the group to the coffee break ( which is all on the flat) are more than welcome . They then have the City to explore at their leisure or halfway round the walk there is an option to return to the capital . Some people will prefer walking poles but it is not obligatory .
