Moderate (Thursday) Walks 2010
Thursday walks are mid-level and do not entail any significant hill climbing, and are intended to be mainly on paths and tracks and graded Moderate. This however cannot be guaranteed as some of the more interesting walks involve covering short sections of rough moorland and bog, with occasional fence and wall climbing. Some minor hills may be visited. Low level and Easy walking is carried out on Wednesdays while high level, more advanced hill 'bagging' and serious cross country walking possibly for extended time periods and other challenges are carried out on Tuesdays. Occasional significant challenges are carried out by arrangement.
All the walks are subject to amendment and alteration depending on weather or other conditions outwith the organisers control. The durations have been based on Naismith's rule (at 3km/h) and rounded up but may vary at the time of walking. Walkers meet at the Bus Station in Blairgowrie to leave at 09:30am. Finish times are an approximate return to Blairgowrie and it is intended that this is usually no later than 16:00pm. However this cannot always be guaranteed and depends on where the walk takes place, the rate at which participants walk, meal stops and so on. Bus fare £3.00 per person (see the subscription section on the information page).
If you wish to cancel a booked place please let us know by the Wednesday before the walk date. This allows time to contact any reserve list participants.
The Thursday walks are a transition between the Wednesday walks and the full-on anything-goes walks on Tuesdays and other challenges. They are conducted at a more leisurely pace and generally on easier terrain, though this cannot be guaranteed or foreseen. Priority has to be given to those making the move from Wednesday walks.
