We are the Inverness Young Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Join us as we head out from Dingwall towards Knockfarrel, the local wee hill (total ascent 190 m). We will make our way up and hopefully get very nice views of the surrounding countryside, before heading down through a small woodland down to the Peffery Way which we then follow back to Dingwall. We will stop somewhere (maybe on the top?) for a lunch stop.
Please sign up by contacting the walk leader by 7pm the day before the walk.
Parts of the walk may be very overgrown: please make sure to wear sturdy footwear (no trainers), long trousers and socks to protect yourself from ticks. It may be muddy and slippery if it has rained. The path will be rough underfoot in places and some sections are steep (up and down).
Make sure to bring: walking boots, layers, waterproofs, sunhat, suncream, water and food to last you the walk.
The finishing time will depend on how fast we walk and how long we stop for breaks, but estimated sometime 14:30-15:30.
Meeting point: Town centre car park, Dingwall: https://www.google.com/maps/search/57.59460,-4.42890/ If using public transport: take the 9:45 number 27 bus from Inverness (arriving to Dingwall 10:20). Return and buses throughout the afternoon. Please let the walk leader know when you sign up if you intend to use public transport to the walk. If you will drive and can offer lifts from Inverness, please let the walk leader know when you sign up. Car sharing is encouraged and if you get a lift please come prepared to contribute towards petrol (30p/mile split by the number of people in the car)
