We are the Inverness Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A gentle evening stroll going from the centre of Dingwall, along Dingwall Canal / the River Peffery to the Ferry Park Picnic Area, where there are lovely views out over the Cromarty Firth. This is a good spot for birdwatching, and the park also has a sculpture that is a model of the Fyrish Monument. We will then return to Dingwall centre via Ferry Road.
Please sign up by 7pm the night before at the latest.
Bring a torch because sections of the path are not well lit.
Terrain: Flat even paths, possibly some muddy spots. Some roads/streets.
Participant kit list - required: walking shoes/boots, waterproofs, head/handheld torch
