We are the Balerno Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The walk starts at Muiravonside Church car park, heads West along the canal towards Brightons, turning off near Maddistons to gain height and good view of the hills of Fife and beyond. Then country lane (not for traffic) towards the Bathgate hills and Muiravonside Country Park. Woodland, meadow and river walk. Historic lime kilns and Avon Aquaduct. Return along the canal.
Two lots of steps, a few metres on footpath by side of road walking and quite wet and muddy after rain on the entrance to the first field after the canal. Gaiters and poles useful here.
If you would like to join us, please contact the Walk Leader via Text or Whats App (M: 07904 813145) to book a place in advance, noting that for some walks places may be limited. Please advise the walk leader of any issue that may affect your ability to complete the walk, if you intend to travel independently to the start of the walk, and/or if you are willing to drive/car share from the meeting point.
Also, if you have one, please remember to bring your ICE (In Case of Emergency) card with you; or a note of your proposed emergency contact name and number will be required.
As conditions underfoot can vary, stout walking shoes/ boots, gaiters and walking poles, if you use them, are recommended.
Please note that, unfortunately, dogs cannot be accommodated on our walks. Guide/Assistance dogs are welcome.
