Overview

Starting from the Kingsview Christian Centre, this evening walk will take us down through Scorguie to the Muirtown locks and then along the canal towards Clachnaharry. We'll cross over the canal and walk down to the sea locks, come back and cross the railway bridge into Clachnaharry and then go up through the forest past a monument back into Scorguie. We then take a right turn and follow the road for a bit, before taking a left into the Craig Phadrig woodland, and back to the starting point.

As this walk will be mostly in the dark and it has a road section, wearing something high viz is mandatory. Please confirm if you have something when you sign up, or if you need to borrow some (I have some extras).

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