We are the Balerno Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Hamish C.
Enjoy a quieter part of the Pentlands with expansive views of the surrounding area, a lesser known reservoir, West Water, popular with resident and migrating birds, and historical links to prehistoric inhabitants, the Romans and the Covenanters.
The route, on estate/farm tracks most of way, goes from West Linton golf club to the Medwin Burn and returns via North of Mendick Hill. There are 2 short sections over moorland.
If you would like to join us, please Text or WhatsApp 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 ICE (In Case of Emergency) card with you; or 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. Guide/Assistance dogs are welcome.
All finishing times are approximate.
