Walking in Assynt

Special Events
2006-7

Please join us for a walk this winter. You will find us a friendly bunch who are just keen to get out in the fresh air, get a bit of exercise and enjoy the wonderful landscape and friendship of others in a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is most welcome.

We will meet every fortnight on WEDNESDAYS at the car park beside Lochinver Service Station, meeting at 10am. (or make your own way to the start of the walk if you live nearer). We then share transport to the start of the walk.

Bring your walking boots, warm and wet weather gear and lunch. We may change the walk or cancel altogether depending on the weather. If in doubt about the weather you can always phone me at home the evening before or after 8am on the morning in question. (Andy 01571 855 309)
