Overview

Our annual seasonal short walk. From the Victoria Park car park in Selkirk (behind the swimming pool on Buccleuch Road) we set off along the Tweed, passing through Mauldsheugh community woodland, before climbing up to the Ettrickbridge road. We cross into Cottage Wood, and climb again to pick up the Borders Abbey Way, which takes us into The Haining. We walk round the loch and find our way back to the cars.

Seasonal headgear or clothing is optional.

MINCE PIES WILL BE PROVIDED.  PLEASE INDICATE AT THE POINT OF REGISTRATION IF YOU HAVE ANY DIETARY REQUIREMENTS.
