We are the Balerno Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A circular walk of approximately 4.5 miles.
The walk is suitable for all ages. We regret to advise dogs are not permitted on our walks.
Please register with the leader to join the walk
What to wear and bring on the walk: Good walking shoes and suitable clothing for wet weather, walking poles in case of wet and muddy ground. Please also bring a mat to sit on as ground will no doubt we wet. Also, we will stop at some point so please bring a drink and snack.
Walk details: This walk is a reasonably easy going walk with only one slight incline – passing Currie Kirk, taking in the first part of the Lymphoy path, and going up into the shelter belt route and along farmland paths which comes out onto Harlaw Road. We walk down the road and enter Sawpit wood which takes us back on to the Lymphoy path, then going through the Maleny Gardens and then through the Rugby Grounds, and bridge over the Water of Leith, into the High School grounds, and coming out on to the Water of Leith walkway back to the start at Currie.
If anyone is unable to complete the walk, one can leave when we reach Malleny and once we cross the bridge through the school grounds, can walk through to the bus stop on the main road.
Arrive at Pentland View Carpark in Currie at 9:20, ready to start the walk at 9:30. This carpark is off Lanark Road West in Currie and if using public transport, a No44 Lothian Bus will stop at bus stops here in both directions. This bus passes along Princes St from Wallyford to Balerno
