Overview

Join Inverness Young Walkers this Hallowe'en for an atmospheric walk up the Tomnahurich Cemetery hill, which has great views over the north and south of Inverness. We will then walk along the canal towards the Muirtown locks before heading back up the other side of the canal to the start point of the walk. A torch is essential, as there is no lighting in the cemetery or along the canal. 

Please sign up by contacting the walk leader by 7pm the day before.
