Overview

Join us for a Sunday morning walk along the canal! We'll start at the Torvean park car park (where park run is) and follow the canal to the Dochgarroch locks, where we'll cross over and come back on the other side. When we get back to town we'll cross over again and end up back where we started.

The walk is flat and along good paths. Trainers are ok and remember to dress for the weather!

Please sign up by contacting the walk leader by 7pm the day before the walk.
