If you prefer you can travel direct and meet us at the Clayhills Grove bus stop. It's 2 stops after Balerno High School. The 32 also stops there. We should be at the bus stop by about 10.00.
From there we will follow a route via woodland paths, quiet roads and arable farmland to Lymphoy Road. From Lymphoy Road we will return to the library via Currie Kirk.
Trip hazards on woodland paths [mostly tree roots] and long grass on part of farmland path. Walking poles may be useful.
All paths are currently very dry, but that could change if there is a lot of rain in the next few days.
Please bring your ICE card and let the leader know if you have any medical conditions which may affect your ability to walk.
