Due partly to the large number of walkers who wished to join this walk but were unable to do so as they were too busy following a very successful week's walking in the Lake District and the lack of interest from members who had not been to the Lake District the walk has been postponed until Spring next year.
We are the Helensburgh & West Dunbartonshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Walkers must book in advance with the walk leader
