Overview

Leader Ann Henderson  07501799193

Meet at Currie Library  at 9.30 for 9.45.

Attractive local easy walk:

Leave our cars at Currie Library.

We then walk through Water of Leith to Water of Leith Visitors Centre - we will have coffee either inside (good home made cakes) or sit outside.

We then walk to Gorgie Road - cross over main road and come in to the back  Entrance to Saughton Park - lunch there.

We then return the same way - coming on to New Mart Road/Slateford Road for the 44 bus home or walk back

Distance:  approximately 6.9 miles

Please WhatsApp or text the leader if you would like to book a place on this walk with your name and mobile telephone number, and advise if you have a medical condition relevant to your walking. Please also provide an emergency contact number.

Please let the Leader know if you are travelling independently, also if you are happy to drive walkers from Currie.

We regret that no dogs are allowed on our walks.
