Welcome to Edinburgh Ramblers 

We are an active group offering a monthly programme of walks at a variety of levels from gentle strolls to challenging peaks. Many of our walks are accessed by public transport and we also arrange car sharing.  Walks are organised midweek and weekends.  All our walks are led by trained leaders.

  • D (formerly Stravaiger) up to 4 miles/6.5km at a slow pace on level ground.  Some beach walks may be half a mile longer.

  • up to 7 miles/11km at a leisurely pace on good paths/tracks. Low hills and/or undulating ground

  • C+ a C but with more ascent or rough ground

  • up to 10miles/16km moderately demanding with hills generally on tracks or paths at a moderate pace

  • B+ up to 12miles/19km more strenuous with more ascent, could include easy Munros

  • up to 15miles/24km steep ascents/descents could be over rough terrain at a demanding  pace

  • A+ as A at a more demanding pace with exposure and may require equipment such as ice axes/crampons

Walk leaders have the right to decline bookings from people lacking suitable fitness, equipment or on any other safety grounds.

MONTHLY COACH WALKS
Each month we hire a coach to take us to locations within two hours drive of Edinburgh.  Coaches leave Waterloo Place at 9am and return around 7pm.  We offer a variety of different walks on each coach outing and descriptions of each walk are circulated to members via the group email system together with details of how to book a place at a cost of £15 per person.

Assistance dogs are allowed on the coach.
