Peebles by Coach Long walk - John Buchan Way

Saturday, 6 April 2019

Meeting time: 8:30
Start time: 10:00

Strenuous 13 miles / 20.9 km

Group Glasgow

- sorry, walk is fully subscribed

This a coach trip with two walks on offer - see below*

The longer one is the John Buchan Way, a 13mile linear walk from Broughton to Peebles. The way marked route which is quite exposed, follows long established hill tracks. There are three main ascents and descents giving a total climb of 800m but none of them are too severe. John Buchan (1875-1960), author and statesman, has many associations with the area. 

Please note that because of the length of the walk, the pace will be fairly fast.

* Please reserve your space on the coach before contacting the walk leader. Email Gerard or info@glasgowramblers.org.uk
