We are the Balerno Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Morag G
A great hill walk with commanding views of the Clyde Valley, the climb finishes at a massive summit cairn.
From Tinto Hill Car Park we walk along a quiet country road passing Howgate Farm. We then ascend (quite steeply) Lochlylock Hill, crossing over to Tinto Hill over possibly boggy ground.
At the summit, after admiring the South Lanarkshire countryside, we descend returning to our start point the car park.
If you would like to join us, please contact the Walk Leader to book a place in advance noting, that for some walks, places may be limited. Please advise the walk leader of any issue that may affect your ability to complete the walk, if you intend to travel independently to the start of the walk, and/or if you are willing to drive/car share from the meeting point.
Also, if you have one, please remember to bring your In Case of Emergency (ICE) card with you; or, if you don’t have one, a note of your proposed emergency contact name and number will be required.
As conditions underfoot can vary, stout walking shoes/ boots, gaiters and walking poles, if you use them, are recommended.
Please note that, unfortunately, dogs cannot be accommodated on our walks.
All finishing times are approximate.
